207 1st St S, Yelm, WA 98597 

The depiction of the classic intersection where Pacific avenue splits and merges at the same time. As the 21st century wore on, more and more of the historic cobblestone streets were chiseled from the asphalt and replicated throughout the city.

In 2091 a group of farmers, classic artisans, and computer geniuses pooled their finances together, and purchased a disused building foundation previously owned by HCY&Z properties. The land was vacant for so long after the real estate management firm went bankrupt, no one really knew what building originally stood there. It could have been a bar, a church, or a cluster of Victorian houses. Whichever structure was there it had clearly been set alight. Legend has it HCY&Z properties had set up a donation box the next day to try and recoup their losses. The company insisted they had no idea why their shipment of propane tanks had been stashed in the building's basement, or why fire insurance was never taken out.....or why fireworks were let off from the company sponsored picnic held nearby.

After much toil and self building prowess, the eclectic group of tradespeople constructed the market pavilion on the foundation of mysterious origin. The windows and minimalist cornices of the pavilion can be seen on the left.

Christened The East Oly Farmers/artisans/techs Market. It took no time at all for the area around the market to densify, becoming another prosperous node making up Olympia Washington. You know you have arrived when you see the street lamps and pedestrian crossing signals immortalized in metal paint, standing as awkward relics of a car centric utopia.
