A Look Around Olympia Washington - Nomad Life

[@Captain-Max]

My memory of the Olympia Brewery amounts to my time on Guam back in 1969. I was a Loadmaster on Coast Guard cargo planes delivering food and supplies to remote CG radio navigation stations in the South Pacific. They called us the beer and ice cream delivery guys. The beer was always Olympia.

[@antoniobaez6282]

It's the water and a lot more...

[@jessicastreet2922]

The footage of the salmon jumping up the waterfall was amazing!

[@rogerbmcdaniel]

Great to see you back posting regularly. It's like seeing an old friend again. Olympia brought back a few memories. My first brewery tour was at the Olympia brewery back in the early '80's. Beautiful area. Thanks.

[@jerrycollison3929]

Awesome, thank you!

[@zookeeperification]

You caught the salmon jumping in the falls! So beautiful!

[@journeyswithlittletpage1669]

Washington is a great place to wander. Listening to and seeing the water......ahhhh😊

[@horselover123962]

Glad you have been able to enjoy my hometown during the best time of the year. Washington is a beautiful state if you stay out of the cities!

[@davidschmidt270]

I used to live in Oly ...five miles from town....seems like 3 lifetimes ago

[@sharonann530]

The brewery got their water from 4 artesian wells located across Capital Blvd. behind the warehouse facility. It didn't come from the river. Enjoyed the tour. I lived there for 16 years. 😊

[@nobodynothing9950]

Away we go! Nice to hear ya say those words again!

[@gringo3009]

Tug Boat Anne's fish and chips for the win!

[@danrandall794]

Thanks for the tour. Very scenic. I had to chuckle as you mentioned all the things that they say you can't do. One of our radio guys dubbed our state "MN, The State Where Nothing is Allowed".

[@AdventureVanMan]

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign!

[@danrandall794]

So funny!!! You are too young to know that LOL.

[@davidschmidt270]

Yeah they did have a lot of rules ... that's true

[@jordanvargovich]

Salmon cakes for lunch lol Beautiful sites and views. Thanks for sharing

[@andi4544]

[@elflordsjourneys]

Our family took a tour of the brewery back in the 70s, Funny Oregon and Washington both have a Deschutes river. Thanks for burning up your expensive gas to give us a tour on a beautiful day Brian.😊✌️

[@justlucky13]

[@ricfly52]

I love Olympia. I had family there from the 50's thru the 80's. Visited often.

[@REB65]

That was really nice 👍 Thanks Brian and God bless ✌️

[@wesallen4228]

Nice.

[@MaDukesMaDukes]

Thank you Brian, I have cousins that live in various areas of Olympia, many that you have shown in this video. One cousin used to work tagging the young salmon. My nana was visiting Tumwater when Mt. St. Helens Erupted back in 1980.. I was never able to visit that part of our country, but thanks to you, I've been able to vicariously visit with your help.. 🤗 It's easy to understand why you do what you do, go where you go... truly blessed.. rock on brother ☮️💚🤗

[@m.d.grimes1622]

Thanks Brian, great video. 😁😁😎😎👍👍

[@lucasjedwards]

Thank you for this video, Brian! I recently moved to Washington from the middle of California and I got to visit Brewery Park today because I learned about it from when you posted this video a few weeks ago. Safe travels to you and Kelly. I love seeing Hobbs in your videos now too. It's fun to watch him experience things for the first time, such a good puppy!

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Awesome video

[@stephenkk7bfg498]

Even the salmons don’t want to be part of the system 😂 trying to jump out to avoid being counted… safe travels!

[@msvg3]

Beautiful scenery, and fun watching the fish! ✌️❤️🐟

[@rajanikumari3672]

Great video. Some lovely, relaxing footage of some spots i am familiar with from a fresh perspective.

[@bonniepwtf]

Great video, so very relaxing and scenic. The city did a wonderful job with that park by the brewery in Tumwater. The salmon jumping was so interesting, no feet, no firm surface to push of from but a salmon says no problemo.😃✌️

[@tomcaldwell5750]

Beautiful location. Thanks for sharing.

[@leoblumhagen644]

Great teenage memories of Oly beer and a few Rainer also😊

[@kgals940]

Thank you for showing me the area. I live in the Yakima Valley and have never seen this. In my younger years I would go see it myself but I'm too old. Thank You.

[@nurseelliott4256]

safe travels

[@unclelar819]

Thanks for the tour, Brian!!!

[@peggy011]

Thank you for this lovely tour of a beautiful setting. Happy travels.

[@dorothydemaree7544]

THAT was Nice! Thx!

[@stevenphilpott1493]

Born & lived in oly till i was 12. we used to picnic at the falls as a kid and watch fish going up the fish ladder! 2 of my dads brothers worked and retired from the Oly brewery! Now i live out on the coast at Westport and drive Hwy 8 to Olympia couple times a month. this is my home country! very nice!!! no hussle & bussle out here!

[@laurieberg2880]

Thanks for the great tour Brian

[@teresap.5991]

Thx for the tour of the park 😊. The salmon looked like they need some help with that waterfall 😮. Have a wonderful week Brian ❤️. Kelly too🍁🍁🍁 Enjoy fall. Best time of year. That park that looks like the rain forest is an amazing park to camp in for sure😮!

[@talea5604]

Beautiful area! Thanks for sharing.

[@louparry7721]

Wow Brian! What a beautiful area. The parks are so well maintained. Just Lovely. I Like the great choices for seafood. How neat to see the Salmon run. Fun ride, thanks for sharing. Hugs for You and Kelly and of course Hobbs, Louise

[@shanniwelsh133]

Thanks for this video. I live in Washington and I drive through Olympia on the freeway quite often, but I’ve never stopped to explore. It is now on my list of places to see.

[@iconic_nurdle5267]

I live here and I love it!

[@vicO1323]

The salmon channels are called fish ladders. When I'm in that part of the country I like to visit the Hiram Chittenden locks in Ballard area of Seattle, where I watch boats big and small make their way to and from Lake Union and Lake Washington through the locks. There is a fish ladder there also.

[@stevekunz6573]

Awesome video! Looks like we have some new places to visit next summer, heading through White pass Thursday, starting to get a little bit too soggy.😎☮️

[@abbylynn8872]

Waving hi from Seattle this rainy morning❤

[@dianepines9014]

Great video! I just read with El Nino, it will rain more in Calif and Arizona and be warmer in Washington. I hope you 3 find nice weather on your travels!

[@davidalexander4043]

[@paulhunter546]

Hey Brian..that road along the water on the way to the park is where I've overnighted when in Olympia. Nice spot but since it's downhill..lots of people speeding by 🧐🤔 Nice to see the sunshine in your video..I'm staying up North near Everett..been raining a couple of days and looks like the rest of the week 🤪✌️

[@meerathegreyhound1044]

😊

[@docgannon]

That was awesome 👏🏻

[@richjaneRN]

Love how the way you vlog. Just chill. Thanks for stopping by at Tumwater falls it's nice and lots of salmon. So many lush greens in WA, indeed The Evergreen. Beautiful state. Impressive Olympia btw

[@waianaegal744]

Wonderful cool (temperature) wise video.... greens and blues. Thanks.

[@EastCoastGal66]

I love that drive! It’s very beautiful and peaceful!

[@davidmanen5495]

Thank you for the tour, it was both scenic and enjoyable. Cheers!

[@deetrvl4life875]

Brian you’re the best!!Washington is the only state I have not physically explored or even been in. This was great!

[@sandygannon8552]

Thank you Brian. We don't have a lot of money to travel ,but I follow along on your travels, and its always enjoyable. We live in eastern wash and its beautiful over here also

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Great city tour!

[@3generations393]

Thank you Brian. What a lovely place.

[@bpalpha]

Boston Harbor?! Where's Quincy Market, the USS Constitution, Kelly's Roast Beef?! Sorry, New Englander here. I've been to Washington state too. Mostly the Seattle area. I absolutely love the PNW! Peace!

[@ellafields9424]

Appreciate this type video as it's more of what I've not seen. I've been to/ thru WA many times mostly on duty so not much touring around. Also lived in Vancouver 1989/91 too much work and rain to suit an old SW gal. Have you been to Eastern WA ? Clarkston area? Chief Timothy state Park in the Snake River?. I was camp host there many years ago - beautiful area. I know its not normally you guys type camping- mine neither as a rule but was good job for me at that time. That type work all I we'd me to tour t by e USA Canada and spend 2 summers in AK. Glorious way for a disabled person to vacation. Looking forward to your next adventure so we can ride along. Happy Trails!

[@SDsailor7]

I have good memories of my visit to Olympia, nice little town

[@bfdee1603]

Thanks for taking us along. I enjoyed d sightseeing 😊with u. Worth checking out d next time I visit WA.

[@sylviajones4907]

So beautiful! Thank you for the tour.

[@lisarichards3853]

I for one, am so grateful that you have shown at least some of the beauty of this wonderful state. ❤🎉❤

[@antoniobaez6282]

Still keeping up with #AdventureVanMan! Always happy to see Brian on his adventures! Wow, o haven't seen salmon like that in a river since I was a kid!

[@clarkleakins879]

1986 I went to the Capitol. And went inside. Was immediately welcomed at the visitor desk. Wandered about the inside, very pretty. Outside, just across the street, was a nice arboretum. Great views from above of the shoreline you just toured.

[@V4NLIFE_CANADA]

Ill add that to my road trip

[@rimonagale1625]

Thanks for that lovely tour.

[@dandog7653]

I live about 30 miles north of Seattle so it nice to see you in my neck of the woods, sorta. I've been playing tourist here for the past 40 years, lots to see and do. If you have a chance to go north and visit Whidbey Island I would highly recommend Deception pass as an awesome area, crowded in summer but not so bad now. Always enjoy your videos.
