Welcome Figure Installation and Landscaping Project
Construction continues at Isthmus Park to install a Welcome Figure by local Squaxin Island tribal member and carver Andrea Wilbur-Sigo, along with new landscaping and seating. You can now see large logs and driftwood on the site, near the base of the 4th Avenue bridge. Work should be completed in early May. Questions: [email protected]
AAHPI
Mark your calendars for the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Heritage Celebration on May 23 from 11 am to 4 pm at South Puget Sound Community College in Lacey. This annual event, hosted by the Asian Pacific Islander Coalition of South Sound and sponsored by the City of Olympia, features vibrant performances, workshops, resources, art and food. The event is free and welcoming to all. For information, visit tinyurl.com/apicheritage2026.
Yashiro Japanese Garden Relocation
Yashiro Japanese Garden will close June 1, 2026. The property has been sold to the Squaxin Island Tribe. Key garden features will be preserved, and the new garden will continue honoring Olympia's Sister City relationship with Kato, Japan. A new location has not been selected yet, and community input along with an expert designer will help guide the process. The project also aims to better connect the garden with the community and reflect today's cultural ties. Read more.
