9/13 Isthmus Panorama (11 image composite)

I went to the State of Washington Law Enforcement Memorial today for the 20/20 Vision Olympia See It While You Can event. I had my picture taken and even picked up an "Endangered Views" t-shirt.

Also took a few photos myself. You can find them by linking from the photo posted above.

From the group 20/20 Vision Olympia:
COME SEE THE VIEW THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT!

We invite you, your family, and friends to join 20/20 Vision Olympia this coming Saturday, September 13, on the State Capitol Campus for See It While You Can: Help us Save our View!. We're gathering near the Washington State Law Enforcement Memorial overlooking Heritage Park from 11 until 1 pm.

The weather experts are promising sunshine, and our 20/20 Vision professional photographer Julie Woods will be on hand to take your picture (with your camera and/or hers) against the gorgeous backdrop of Puget Sound and the Olympics to the north--views that 20/20 Vision and other local organizations are trying so hard to preserve. We'll have petitions on hand for the Olympia Capitol Parks Foundation's iniative drive, requiring our city council to pause before they make the rezone decision (doesn't that sound good?) and study the feasibility of acquiring the isthmus and developing it into a wonderful city park area. If you're registered to vote in Olympia and you've not yet signed a petition, we hope you will on Saturday.

If you can't make it then, this is still a great week to visit the Capitol Campus, thought to be the most stunning in the entire country. Come enjoy our precious, historically conceived views from the Law Enforcement Memorial, and see for yourself just exactly what's at stake. Parking is available on the diagnonals leading into the Capitol.

Thanks, everyone--and do check out our website: www.2020visionolympia.org

P.S. Please take a little time to learn more about 20/20's planning vision for Olympia by going to www.youtube.com/2020visionolympia, and checking the installments of 'Back From the Brink.' We think you'll be inspired.
