Support a local independent bookstore! We are lucky to have two great bookstores in Olympia, Browsers Bookshop and Orca Books. You can order books directly from their websites and they will mail them to you. It is important that we support our independent bookstores during the pandemic. If they are forced to close, they might never be able to re-open. Please support our local bookstores if you can!
