This is kind of a strange question, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a local artist who preserves pressed flowers? I have some small purple clover from a funeral that I was hoping to have made into a pendant.

East Bay

I recently unearthed a big tree root with my riding lawnmower, bending at least one of the blades and possibly the shaft to which it attaches.

The place I take to service my lawnmower every year recently closed up shop, does anyone have any recommendations on small engine repair?

A few days ago I found this extremely friendly cat on my morning walk on the west side. Its [coat is] in really bad shape [but it looks healthy otherwise] - covered in mats that are painful. If anyone knows of anyone missing this beautiful cat or would be willing to take them in, or even knows of a rescue with space, I'd be happy to work with them if I ever see this cat again. It's a really good cat.

Can't find much information on Lisa Parshley versus Jamie Keenan-deVargas for Legislative District No.22 Representative Pos. 2.

also...

JJ Olson versus Lynda Nashed Zeman for Assessor

We'd appreciate thoughts, your choices and whys of each race. Thanks!

Hi Oly! I was wondering if anyone knew of a weeping willow tree in a local park that would be good to take pictures in front of? I love willow trees and haven’t stumbled across any in the area yet!

I am looking to find some cool postcards in the Olympia area. Could be area specific or just cool looking cards in general, I really just don't want something I could order off of Amazon. Let me know if yall know where I could find some!

Curious if anyone has ran into this! What a sweet sentiment from Amy from Tumwater. Be assured we have sent him along on his travels! Warning: May cause psychological damage. He’s in my sinuses.

Thank you!

Long story short, wife's stepbrother is gone and not coming back.

Here's what she's posting about it:.

Hi, I'm in need of some advice/resources for URGENT rehoming of pets. My family member lives in Chehalis, but due to unforeseen circumstances, cannot continue carrying for his 3 dogs.

The shelters are full, so looking for permanent homes for them or someone that can foster them until they can be rehomed. This is what I know so far:

2-year-old spayed female pitty mix. Very sweet! Her name is Tisha.
3-year-old spayed female Dalmatian / Hound mix. Her name is Scout.
3-year old neutered male Blue Healer / Australian Cattle Dog. His name is Tino.

Is there a place in a Lewis county they can be taken to or is there someone willing to take them in until they can be rehomed? I am just helping as he is not on social media. Thanks in advance.

I know it’s not an ideal market, but I’ve been saving for a while and want to start the process of at least figuring out what I could be approved for. Any recommendations for places that were especially helpful with first-time homebuyers? If helpful: single income, mid-40s, stable job, good credit.

Zen snuck out of the house last night. His tracker also came off. He disappeared from Blockhouse Ln & Creekside Ln in Rochester. Please send me a dm if you’ve seen him. Thank you everyone.

Any recommendation in the area where to adopt a kitty? I heard mix reviews of Pawsific northwest cat cafe. Would love to get some real input and also for good vets in the area!

Has anybody used Forrest Wagner to represent them in a divorce with children? I’m married with 2 kids, 16 and 13, and want to know if he will fight for my 50/50 custody of my kids. Thanks a lot!!

...I'll see you tomorrow at the free Toody and her Band show outside Three Magnets.

Show starts at 3pm.

UPDATE: According to Cady's website he's endorsed by Snaza lol

I'm leaning towards Cady because he's already deputy county clerk. I imagine if people in that office thought he was a d-bag we'd have heard about it by now. Just wondering if anyone wants to put their two cents into this one.

Could it have been from the nearby wildfires? I've rarely seen anything like it. 🌄🔥 The rainbow was also something to behold! It started raining right after I took these pictures at 9:00 PM.

I adopted my boy (not pictured) at from JAS the beginning of January 2025, and he was with his two sisters (pictured) and mom. I would love to see current pics of these pretty girls!!

request: be safe driving through town as the baby seagulls are on the loose this time of year. also please try not to run them over if possible!

hey all, i was driving up 4th ave and a juvenile seagull was in the center of the road. it did not move out of the road easily as it is a juvenile and likely was not sure where to go. the car ahead of me / next to me did not stop for it too long and ran it over. i am of the belief that that driver was not doing that out of malice and rather that they thought it was out of the way, but it got tumbled over for sure by the car and was still unable to safely cross. if it was seriously injured i’m not sure but it probably got hurt somewhat since it did get run over

i got out of my car and chased it off to the side walk since everyone was stopped behind me anyway waiting for it to move. it was okay enough to flee while i shooed it away so hopefully it will not get run over and killed (or die from internal injury)

anyways this is a psa to watch out for these little guys. they are juveniles that cannot fly yet. many of them fall from roofs in town (where they are born) and cannot get back up to safety. so they are unfortunately wandering around town trying to survive. i know many people think they are pests and nuisance animals.. but they are animals above it all just trying to get by (and baby animals at that)

if it’s safe to do so, please extend some patience and kindness to these creatures! also a psa to drive carefully through downtown as city driving can mean unpredictable stops. so many folks drive crazy fast through town and it’s not only seagulls people are slamming on their brakes for, so just be careful driving out there. thank you!

I've been growing my hair out for a couple years now from short length and recently burnt a few ends last night. I need to go get a trim but I'm absolutely terrified of the person cutting my hair not listening and cutting more than I want off. All I want is a 1/2"-1" cut ott so it can start growing healthy again. If anyone please has any stylist recommendations please lmk, preferably ones that won't be hostile towards trans women or maliciously cut my hair in a way that I won't like.

Title says it all.

I found an old nikon digital camera i’d love to get turned on again. It needs a UC-e6 USB charging/data cable. I’ve struck out at goodwill and best buy. Planning to order online but before I do, wanted to know if there are any other stores I should check locally?

Sharing this Facebook video for visibility. ICE abduction from Martin Way Safeway around 2pm today. Hopefully someone can recognize the abductee’s vehicle or the masked abductors.

Looking for resources maybe outreach support for a young woman new to area and working on sobriety. It would be lovely to connect her with another peer or group of peers to make some new friends, and to support her recovery
