This Unassuming Washington Country Market Sells Homemade Pies, Local Honey, And Bulk Buys At Bargain Prices

A jar of raw milk, a homemade strawberry rhubarb pie, and a heap of closeout coffee can all land in the same basket at one small roadside market in Washington. Better yet, the total at the register tends to stay surprisingly friendly. The pies are made locally and wait in...

Oregon’s First Millionaire Built This Riverside Mansion, and Its Octagonal Tower Still Rules the Skyline

In the 1940s, a grand Victorian house in Astoria was so unwanted that the family that owned it had trouble giving it away. The city almost knocked it down to make room for a parking lot. Today that same house fills a full city block, holds over 11,000 square feet of rooms, and draws history fans from all over.

Third Olympia Farmers Market vendor shares concerns, and the board responds

A third Olympia Farmers Market vendor has emerged to share her concerns, joining two others who have detailed what they perceive as a stricter operating environment at the longtime market near the Port of Olympia marine terminal. Odin’s Alchemy Brewing was suspended in September and did not return after a customer had sampled a beverage while the owner stepped away, knife maker Crafted Restorations was suspended in October and continues to seek reinstatement – that’s according to emails that have been shared with The Olympian – and now Janna Taylor, who used to run Mother’s Roots Kitchen, a restaurant, has shared why she is no longer at the market. The business was at the market from August 2023 until April 2026, about the time the former market director, Isabel Thomas, was let go and replaced by a new market director named Alvi Stuart. It remains unclear why there was a change in market directors. “We closed our doors suddenly in April of this year after receiving a new contract, a week before it was due, from the Olympia Farmers Market board,” said Taylor in an email and in conversation with The Olympian. “This contract was different from the ones I

Thurston Co. dessert shop will close storefront. Celebrate the holidays downtown

The owners of the Nom Nom Stop , a five-year-old Lacey-based business known for its sweets, including cheesecake on a stick, have decided not to renew the lease on their College Street storefront. They plan to shift the business to food trucks. They will remain at 1107 College St. SE through the end of the year, and then go mobile, owners Tiberio Serbanescu and Ada Gheorghiu announced on social media and explained in an interview on Wednesday. One goal: to reduce their overhead costs, such as the cost of rent and utilities. “We realized that actually the food trucks bring in more revenue than the store,” said Gheorghiu on Wednesday. The business will have three trucks, Serbanescu said. Two of them will serve sweet and savory items, such as cheesecake on a stick, loaded hot dogs and Romanian-style skinless sausages. The last truck will serve espresso, coffee and specialty drinks, he said. Once they go mobile, where will customers be able to find them? One possible location is at the Lacey Depot at 5500 Pacific Ave. SE., a site that already features a collection of food trucks, Tiberio said. Other sites are still to be determined.

Most Long Beach Peninsula Power Restored After Saturday Substation Outage

Electricity returned to most customers in Klipsan Beach, Ocean Park, Surfside and Oysterville by about 7:45 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, after a transmission-line failure took a substation out of service. A smaller outage remained near 282nd Street at Q and R Streets in Ocean Park; the Pacific County PUD estimated it could take about two more hours to restore those customers, according to the Chinook Observer.

Storm causes scattered power outages in Pierce, Thurston counties, PSE data show

An overnight windstorm knocked out power to thousands of residents, including those in Pierce and Thurston counties, according to power utility Puget Sound Energy. As of Sunday morning, about 13,000 utility customers were without power in PSE’s service area, most of them in the Seattle area. However, a power outage map showed that east Pierce County and rural Thurston County also were affected by the storm. A wind advisory took effect Saturday night through early Sunday morning, according to the National Weather Service. In the Seattle/Tacoma area, wind speeds rose to 40 mph, while the Olympia area experienced sustained gusts of 20 mph, the National Weather Service data show. Estimated restoration times were not immediately clear, although PSE officials said in a statement they were working on it. “We understand how difficult it is to be without power. Our teams are prepared, with additional staffing and crews ready to respond throughout the weekend, and crews will remain in the field to assess damage and restore power as long as it is safe. If your power goes out, we’ll work around the clock to restore it as quickly and safely as possible.” The weather forecast for the region looks much calmer,

Washington Has 6 Butcher Shops Where the Meat Beats the Grocery Store and Costs Less

One butcher shop on this list never locks its doors. It runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so a midnight steak craving actually has somewhere to go. That detail hooked me fast. Then I learned another shop sells exotic game next to its jerky, and a third keeps homemade salsa beside the premium cuts.
