Join Puget Sound Estuarium at the Olympia Timberland Library for our Discovery Speaker Series. Every 1st Thursday of the month we invite you to learn and stay informed about current environmental research or sustainability projects. You’ll hear from scientists, educators, artists, and earth advocates about their current work, research, or organization. Plus get your questions answered live after the talk!

About the presentation: Pacific Herring in the Nisqually Reach
The Nisqually Indian Tribe and Long Live the Kings invite you to learn about a collaborative project, guided by local and indigenous knowledge, to better understand Pacific herring in the Nisqually Reach. Discover the essential role these small silvery fish play in both salmon recovery and ecosystem health.

Join us for a community forum on Saturday November 7th from 2-4pm at Olympia City Hall. 

This forum builds on previous ones, and is meant to foster connections and create space to talk about what priorities we want for our community as we head into 2027. 

The Council of Neighborhood Associations (CNA) represents neighborhood associations across Olympia. Our mission is to promote and enhance the quality of life in our neighborhoods by providing a forum to collaborate to achieve common goals.

The event will include: 
Info about who CNA is and what we do in neighborhoods
Time for neighbors to talk to each other 
Light refreshments (food/water)

We’ll collect this feedback, share these learnings back with the City, and continue to advocate for what we hear from neighbors.
