Best coffee shops in Olympia?

Alright, Rent is about $1,509/month for a decent place. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Should I be concerned? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

I've been living here for 11 years and I'd say it was the best decision I ever made. The food scene is improving compared to other places I've lived. Overall Happy to answer more specific questions..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from San Diego and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Sunset. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in retail. If you're in finance you might struggle.

People: Generally challenging. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: decent. Tons of options if you like seafood.

Definitely worth checking out..
