Eastside Neighborhood Notes

== Stolen car ==
We received this by email:
Kelcy's car was stolen last night, the 9th!! It was just parked in the
road, doors locked no keys inside....
Could you keep an eye out for it and call if you see it.
A silver, 1993 Subaru station wagon. The most distinguishing marks are the
bumper stickers. One says " I march to the beat of my own accordion" the
other sticker says "I love my library."
Kelcy's number is 503-550-1265, address is 1334 Legion Way.
== Garden Walk organizing! ==
Heather Hansen <heat...@qwestoffice.net> has offered to organize an
upcoming Garden Walk. She's looking for 2 or 3 additional volunteers
to assist. Contact her if you're interested!
== Planning Commission Public Meeting ==
The Olympia Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Monday
September 14 at 6:30 pm in the city council chambers on 900 Plum St.
They'll be considering proposed amendments to land use zoning
standards.
== Artspace Public Meeting ==
From the city's website:
Artspace is a national non-profit organization. Their mission is to
create, foster and preserve affordable space for artist and arts
organizations. They work with cities all over the country to build
housing and then Artspace manages it.
Artspace is considering Olympia for an affordable artists’ live/work
space project. City of Olympia and the Olympia Arts Commission are
preparing for a visit from Artspace on September 16 and 17, when the
organization will assess whether Olympia is a good match for a future
Artspace project.
Artists and community members are invited to learn about the Artspace
organization, its projects and processes at a community meeting on
Wednesday, September 16, 6:00pm, at the Washington Center for the
Performing Arts, 512 Washington St SE, Olympia. Artspace will make a
presentation from 7:00 to 8:30pm and guests will have an opportunity
to ask questions. While guests are gathering prior to the
presentation, local artists will offer a variety of short performances
on the Center’s main stage.

== Waste/Recycle Cart Graffiti ==
From Olympia Public Works:
Does your neighborhood have residential waste or recycle carts marred
by graffiti? This is another problem we can tackle together.
Recently, WasteResources committed to help locate and submit work
orders for damaged carts they see on their routes. Those will be
collected and replaced. The damaged carts are cleaned at the
Maintenance Center by the Probation Work Crew and reused.
We’re asking for your help to:
- Encourage everyone to bring carts back off of the curb
after collection day. Carts are more likely to be tagged if left out.
- Spread the word that customers can ask for a replacement
cart by calling 753-7368 or emailing Gateway Services
(pwgatewa...@ci.olympia.wa.us).
- Report graffiti on other carts in the neighborhood in the
same manner. You will need to provide the address and cart color. It
would also be helpful if the neighbor is informed of the request so
they can leave the cart out for pick up.
Thanks to all of you who continue to help bust graffiti out of our
neighborhoods!
