Best things in Olympia: Trader Joe’s is coming to town

So it's been rumored for months, probably even years. This time it's for real. See this picture? I took it myself and I was standing in a parking lot on the corner of Cooper Point and Black Lake Blvd. Yes...believe it. Trader Joe's is coming to Olympia! Their opening is set for later this month. There have been newspaper articles and blogs here on ActiveRain about it. But I kept wondering "Will it ever happen?"

Why do I like Trader Joe's so much? It's just fun to walk up and down the aisles and see and try different products: curry simmer sauces, olive oils, great prices on wines. Their own brands are good quality and are reasonably priced. This week, it's number one on my best things in Olympia!
