Review of Olympia, Washington


Green City
Star Rating - 5/18/2013
Moved to Olympia about three months ago and it is not what I expected some of that is a good thing and bad thing. It's green, with tall trees and plenty of rain which I enjoy coming from phoenix, arizona. The public education system is not that great, my son has plenty of health conditions and we were told the two local hospitals cannot treat him so he will have to be airlifted to Seattle Childrens if a problems comes up, jobs are scarce, plenty of tourist and traffic. Olympia has potential but refuses to grow up and be the diverse capital city it's suppose to be. I love the state and if it were not for my son's health conditions would stay here but we are looking at moving closer to seattle.

Another Dorkster with the goofy review of her own personal problems, in this case her kid, but absolutely no information about the city itself. She uses this site as a venue to vent that her son has allergies and can't be treated in Olympia. Of what use is that to anyone on this site that is looking for insights as to the quality of life and general overview of the city itself.
