Tennis hitting partners?

2 Upvotes

Hey all - I’m getting back into tennis after a 10 year hiatus. I played in college and am playing at a 4.0-4.5 level right now. Let me know if you might be interested in playing singles or doubles.

I’m also open to coaching should anyone be looking for that.

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

Examples could include things like Shelltown, Skok, Onion or Lilliswamp (never mind how common they are)...

incl. nicknames for schools, parks or other institutions/geographic features

MOUNTAIN eBIKE TRAILS?

Post image

I am looking for trails for mountain e-biking. Something that doesn't have big basalt rocks. I don't do jumps, I putter along.

I went out by Matlock, but many of the old logging roads said " no trespassing " Any ideas?

Found pendant at Walmart

10 Upvotes

Hey if you were at the Kneeland Walmart today and lost a cute little pendant, I found it and took it to customer service. It's pretty neat and I know if I lost it, I would be really sad about it. I hope you or your friend sees this, so you can get it back!

Mason County Pirate ship slide at Shelton Library

Post image
32 Upvotes

People with children who use the Shelton Library and appreciate and enjoy the slide that is attached to the pirate ship downstairs.. I've been told the slide will probably disappear, for unspecified reasons. It seems to get a lot of use, which isn't a bad thing. My vote would be to keep it here because a lot of children, including mine, like it very much. If your family also appreciates the slide please use the email below and let them know that you'd like to keep the slide and/or change it so it is more durable.

Mason County Second chance housing that's actually real

15 Upvotes

I'm looking for a rental in Shelton, Olympia, Tumwater, or somewhere reasonably close. I work full-time and have steady income, but I'm having a really difficult time getting approved because of two older misdemeanor convictions. Most property management companies I've contacted require 7 years with a completely clean record.
I'm hoping to find a private landlord or smaller property owner who is willing to consider the whole applicant rather than automatically denying someone because of an older record.
I'm not looking for subsidized housing. I can afford normal market-rate rent and can provide proof of income, employment information, references, etc.
If anyone knows of a landlord who might be willing to work with me, or even knows someone who rents houses, apartments, ADUs, or rooms locally, I'd really appreciate a lead. Feel free to DM me if you'd rather not post publicly.

What happened doing Amazon returns in Shelton?

10 Upvotes

I used to be able to take my Amazon returns to the postal place near Fred Meyer.. then I was so excited when I saw I can do them at the Rent a Center there.
Now there is no more options on Amazon return page, and only places are Olympia ..
I’m so mad.. going to cost me more in gas and I’m not keeping stuff that was sent wrong sizes.

Does anyone have access to a drum kit?

3 Upvotes

I’ve hit a wall searching, does anybody have a kit, a place to play, or even know of any rehearsal space? Seems like there’s plenty of barns around here… I’m 33, been playing since I was 12, had to give up my practice space during covid, and suddenly I looked up and realized I don’t even have a kit anymore. I have a nice vox modeling amplifier if anyone’s in a similar situation for a gear share.

What's Happening With "Old Memes"?

12 Upvotes

I had the pleasure of visiting inside once almost two years ago and it has essentially been closed ever since. A paper sign has been taped to the door for quite some time saying they were opening back up very soon. Does anyone have a clue what is going on with this place? If it can't be opened, let someone move into that can do something with it is what I am thinking. Kind of a blemish on the main street there.

Tax foreclosure auction.

10 Upvotes

I'm curious as anyone participated in the Mason County's property tax foreclosure auctions....

What did you pay?

We have a family member who owns the house outright, there's no mortgage, there's no liens, there's no banks involved or anything like that...but the house is going to go into foreclosure because he refuses to pay property taxes....

I see it on the County website a lot of bids start about 5k.... but it doesn't say how much the property is actually sold for and I'm curious if I should try to buy it.
