Once again, the Eastside Neighborhood Association will be sponsoring block parties in locations around our neighborhood. This year they will be held on Friday, August 4th from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The party hosts will provide some food and activities. Neighbors who attend will be asked to bring a potluck dish or beverage.
This will be the second year that we will be conducting these parties. Last year, they were very well-attended and received a lot of good feedback. The goal of the parties is to help members of the Eastside Neighborhood get to know each other and talk about ways to make our neighborhood safer and more connected.
We anticipate the parties will be held on the same four blocks as last year:
- 5th Ave SE between Fir & Fairview
- Sawyer St SE between 7th & 9th
- Lybarger St SE between 10th & Union
- McCormick St SE between 13th & 14th
Please mark your calendars. We’ll be sending another notice about the parties within a couple weeks, confirming the locations and other details. If you have any questions, please contact Roger Horn ([email protected]) or Whitney Bowerman ([email protected]).

This years Annual Summer Eastside Neighborhood Picnic will be held on Saturday August 22 at Lions Park. There was a lot of enthusiasm at our Annual General Meeting to make the picnic, bigger and better. Even though we failed to get the City of Olympia to support us through the matching grant program, your board members have managed to pull together some great entertainment and food.
Thanks to our local businesses for your donations! Eastside Big Tom’s, Ralphs Thriftway and the Eastside Olympia Food Co-op have all chipped in!
Thanks also to the Olympia Parks Department and Waste Services, they are always supportive.
New time!
At the fall membership meeting we swapped the picnic to late afternoon, so 4pm to 7pm is the new time!
Food!
Food offerings include a main dish (burgers or hotdogs) provided by the ENA (and donors), with neighbors bringing side dishes and deserts.
Live Music!
There will be live music!
