Well guess what I will be missing bills by the time I get paid from the system that I pay into!!!!! What a crock, bunch of crooks. No surprise being WA though. Do not count on FMLA payments and good luck to others who need assistance when on extended medical leave and can't get it. They only approved my leave for two weeks when my doctor's documents said 3 months! What!?!?

I literally have no idea why this agency continually hires incompetent people. They do not answer…read morethe phone, mail is always delayed to the point of being no longer relevant, there are too few workers to quickly process claims, and for some reason this agency is incapable of communicating with other departments within their own agency. Honestly at this point, I can't believe this agency is still in operation. Yall need to talk to other agencies into how you can become more efficient. Try hiring younger, more tech savvy, or at least competent people. Don't forge that being inefficient is the a major cause for waste.

The City of Olympia's new Rental Registration for rental homes is 100% provable city corruption…read more It's only about making money for the city. There are already housing codes in place to protect and keep everyone safe. Call in a complaint and code enforcement can inspect the living conditions and force the landlord to make corrects or suffer fines. Other cities with similar registrations always increase fees and have yearly inspections where inspectors are paid several hundred dollars, but never inspect the homes. Hence, the provable corruption.

What a steal!!! The sandwich was on buttery Hawaiian type bun and I chose the Cajun sauce to place on top of mine! Oh my word!!!!! Absolutely melt in your mouth delicious!!! I would have paid $5.00 for just the sandwich because it was absolutely smoked to perfection!!! I didn't try the salad, it looked soggy and I was full from the brisket sandwich! I picked up their flyer and business card because I would definitely hire them to cater an event for me!

Just delay payments, and once evicted, the rental with the rental increase restrictions can be raised up nich higher. Citizens shouldn't have to wait this long to get the money they're owes. Ridiculous.

There is no other way to get through. I called promptly at 08:00 when they opened and finally after calling back 27 times in a row (yes, honestly I was dumb enough to keep trying) and getting hung up on by the recording, I just gave up!! This is ridiculous!! I am so frustrated and angry. This is not my first attempt to try to reach them.

It might be better for older, science oriented kids, but adults will likely find it interesting as well. It's free and all they ask you do is provide some info about how many people are in your party and the zip code you are visiting from. It's a good rainy day activity and can provide some educational moments. There is an interactive scavenger hunt which involves doing 8 tasks and ends with the ability to choose a prize. The maze pen we won is pretty cool. My 10 year old nephew was easily able to complete all the tasks and seemed to enjoy doing it. Some things were like video games, which he seemed to like and maybe it will give him some ideas about career possibilities for the future. It was a good learning opportunity about the importance of saving water and learning about what happens to all the water we waste, etc. I wish I lived in Olympia and was able to trace where the water goes when I flush the toilet. It was nice that they ask you to share what you learn when you go to redeem your prize. I'm not sure if my 8 year old niece would have found it as interesting, but there are places to sit and some kitchen toys to play with if not. It looks like they also have some crafts available. Check it out if you are in the area.
