Eye On Olympia

Olympia’s publicist laureate…

From a (tongue-in-cheek) post on Olyblog, a community blog in the capital city:

Olympia. Olympia! Olympia is a land of puppies and rainbows and leprechauns where people spontaneously dance in circles in the street. No one ever dies and there are no unhappy people there. Olympia was created on God's eighth day, the one where he created cool places that weren't meant to be known about by too many people. Olympia single handedly created all music composed since the early '90s, for real. And none of that music sucks...Our parks are second to none, our selection of cool ethnic eats is primo, and we're working on our lack of non-white people. The heavens open up on a weekly basis and angels descend down to fifth street singing the praises of God's special place.

(Poster summerisle, in case the sarcasm isn't coming through, was apparently unhappy with restrictions on what can be posted on the blog.)
