From the views of Mt. Rainier and Puget Sound, to the majestic state capitol building, Olympia, WA has quite a bit to offer! Aside from the convenient location between Seattle and Portland, Olympia itself is brimming with opportunity. A healthy local economy driven by state government and local business has helped Olympia remain one of the best places in the country to call home.

I think this video is an excellent testament to the many wonderful things Olympia, WA has to offer. You can view the article from Kiplinger.com, which ranks Olympia #6 on its Best Cities 2009 list, click here . The following tour of Olympia is provided courtesy of Kiplinger.com . ENJOY!

Power Poles ruin the Views and Street-scape of Olympia

With a city as pretty as Olympia and with such stunning views, why are utility poles still tolerated?

No modern city has above ground power lines any more, and you won't see them in new subdivisions. Why then does the Capitol City of the State of Washington still look like a throw-back to the fifties, or like a third world country town when it comes to the utility poles?

I understand that placing these lines underground is a costly affair, but what's the alternative? Are we waiting until every home and business runs on alternative energy?

Not only would underground utility lines improve the look of Olympia's street scape and help give us unobstructed views, they would require less maintenance and fewer power outages in inclement weather.

Olympia is growing up and developing and should have the infrastructure to go with it.

How much nicer would this view be, if there were no utility lines ?

Seeing the slight upward trend of interest rates, I would be in a big hurry to find an investment property or home before rates get much higher. Now is the time to act, prices are down, interest rates creeping up, but still historically low. DO NOT MISS YOUR OPPORTUNITY!! I don't want to say I told you so!
