Eastside Neighborhood Holiday Caroling

When?  Friday, December 20th, 5:00 pm

Starting Point: Swantown Inn & Spa, corner of 11th Ave SE and Central

Potluck starts at 5:00pm, Caroling starts at 6:00pm

Song book available here.

Hello Eastside Neighbors!

Once again, the Eastside Neighborhood Association (ENA) will be sponsoring Holiday caroling. The caroling will take place on Friday, December 20th. We’ll have a potluck from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Swantown Inn & Spa (11th and Central) and leave from there at 6:00 to sing at Oly Lightstravaganza and other homes in the area. 

The singing will last for about an hour, but people should feel free to join us at any time or leave anytime. We will provide song lyrics on paper and downloadable on our ENA website so that you can put them on your cellphone. Bring a flashlight if you want to use the paper lyrics. Flashlights will also help make the walking safer. We’ll mainly be singing songs that are secular, such as Let It Snow and Jingle Bells—songs the little ones might already know!

For the potluck, bring snacks if you can. If you can’t, you are still welcome to join the potluck gathering. Some snacks will be provided by our hosts and the ENA.

Please join us at the potluck and the caroling! We wish you Happy Holidays!

The Eastside Candidate Forum Has Been Canceled

The 10/9 Eastside Candidate Forum Has Been Canceled.


The Eastside Candidate Forum scheduled for Wednesday, October 9th at the Elks Lodge has been canceled. One of the Council candidates who was planning to attend the forum notified us that he has to be out-of-town that night. The Coalition of Neighborhood Associations (CNA) decided to cancel the Eastside forum due to the absence of that candidate and for a couple other reasons.


An alternative to the canceled forum is the Westside Candidate Forum being held at 7 p.m. on Thursday 10/17 at Garfield Elementary School. The Westside forum is also being organized by the CNA and will be open to people from the east and west sides of Olympia. 


Garfield Elementary School is located at 325 Plymouth Street NW, just north of Harrison Avenue NW and Woodruff Park. All six Council candidates will be at the Westside Candidate Forum. Please attend it if you can.

This Forum has been cancelled. Click here for more details.

The CNA is sponsoring two candidate forums for the upcoming City Council elections — one on the eastside and the other on the westside. We have created a SurveyMonkey to gather questions from neighborhood residents. Please share the survey link below as best you see fit (ie, email distribution, neighborhood list serve, NextDoor, etc.) The plan is to keep the survey open until the 18th.
