Oly aquifer I don't understand why Olympia doesn't use its natural resource, the aquifer, to create a big attraction and amazing urban space? Why not make it really beautiful? Fountains are the heart of the city in many places. Flowing water has a hypnotic effect on people. The Oly aquifer is a copper pipe in a stinky parking lot and yet it draws people to it. Whenever I go down to get a drink, I see people coming and going, filling up jugs, talking, hanging out. It could be all that and so much more with beautiful sculpture or a mosaic and definitely a space to sit around and people watch. What's stopping Oly...us?
