How well do you know Olympia? Here's the game: Each Saturday I post a picture from somewhere around Olympia and people try to figure out its location. The first person who gets it correct gets to be the first person who correctly got the location *yay!*.

Know Olympia?

Blujaybird I think this is either Mariah Arts studio or the Daycare right next to it over by Garfield?
»

That is not correct...

but it leads me to my first hint: this can be found in downtown.

I know! I know!

It's on that building near the place where there's a tree and stuff. You know, Downtown, by the thing at that spot.

very, very close...

but it's by that thing at this spot. Sorry.

This is a good one.

I'm trying to place the color of that building in my mind but I just can't. Would it be considered cheating if I walked around downtown in a search and rescue pattern until I found it?

cheating?

I don't think cheating exists for this game...

If you do embark on this "pattern", good luck. But remember, there's nothing you can't find until you look for it.

no, it doesn't...

but the washington street market does!!

is that the right name? the one across the street from b&b!

Across from B&B would be the Capital Grocery.

The Washington Street Market is across from the transit center.

»

yes indeed

Part of the mural in the alley next to the Capitol Market across the street from B&B. You are a winner.

I'm stumped

But I'll keep my eyes open and looking up toward the corners of buildings.

Aha!

That is, "The Olympia Seafood Company"?
