The October pick-up for the Food Project is this Saturday, October 11. Please place your green bags on your front porch by 9:00 am, unless your Neighborhood Coordinator has specified otherwise.
If you’re wondering what the Food Project is, you can learn more on the ENA website. We’d LOVE to have more Eastside neighbors participating! This is a super easy (promise!) way to get involved and contribute to the neighborhood and the community at large.
From the City of Olympia:
Olympia is one of three capital cities to be selected for the EPA’s Greening America’s Capitols external link program. With technical design assistance from EPA, we will re-envision Capitol Way, from the Farmer’s Market to the State Capitol campus, as a greener and more vibrant streetscape.
Get Involved
The City of Olympia and the design team will be hosting an interactive public workshop/open house to give community members the opportunity to contribute to the project and collaborate on design ideas.
When? Monday, September 29, 6:30-8:30pm
Where? The Olympia Center, General Purpose Room A
The next day (September 30), the design team will hold focus group meetings with representatives from various community groups, like downtown residents and businesses, environmental and other non-profit organizations to further refine the design ideas.
Following the workshop and focus groups, the public is invited to attend a ‘wrap-up’ session in which the design team will present the final design concepts, resulting from the three days of work sessions and community input.
When? Wednesday, October 1, 6:30-8:30pm
Where? The Olympia Center, General Purpose Room A

Meeting started at 6:30 pm at the Swantown Inn
Whitney submitted an application the City for dog waste stations throughout the ENA. There are 12-14 possible locations. Conversations are being had about whether or not we can put dog waste stations in the right of way, attached to already existing signs. Whitney will continue to update the Board. Once the locations will be okayed, then work out the installations of the posts. The ENA will ask Lew Rents to donate the rental of an auger for a few hours in order to efficiently dig postholes. Not everyone on the Board agrees with the idea of dog waste stations and think that it may only lead to bags of dog poop left throughout the neighborhood. Most members think this is a positive project for the ENA Board to accomplish.
Meeting adjourned at 7:30 pm
