If you wish to find where the 1960’s hippies settled down, Vashon Island is supposedly the resting ground. But if you ever wondered where the hippies are still being grown, Olympia is the happening place. Amplifying the relaxing Seattle cafe attitude, Olympia has an eccentric kick to its culture emanating from the local art and music scene and Evergreen State College’s youth with KAOS Radio. Alongside the mainstream political and business culture of Washington State’s Capitol, the eclectic but niche downtown Olympia skate shop pictured above features custom skateboards, converse high-tops, incense, and album and film collections rivaling the trendiest vinyl shops of NYC.
