Blondies is a great breakfast place. There used to be a Sears on Railroad Ave. Nobody goes ‘to’ Shelton, they go through Shelton.

So true, we always go through it to get to the beach! We will have to check out that breakfast place someday.

Lived there as a kid from 86-89. Actually, we might have lived in Olympia or Tumwater first but eventually we settled in Shelton. Went to Bordeaux Elementary from first to fourth grade. Last time I was in Washington was in 2015 for a layover in Seattle on my way to Germany. Really hope to get back someday.

I would say when I moved here in 1991 it’s was a lot different than now 2023 used to be a small friendly town but now ready to move nice in summer too much rain for me 32 years time to go lol
@AmericanOutbackAmazing Жыл бұрын
I agree with you about the rain, it is hard to get through some winters. 6 months with limited sun and 50-60 inches of rain gets old. My dream is to retire somewhere with sunshine!

You REALLY missed the boat on Shelton. The real main drag is through Olympic Highway, going south to north. You've missed Mt. View and Hillcrest, and Oakland Bay, which are at the heart of things.
@AmericanOutbackAmazing2 жыл бұрын
I did a 2nd video of the northern part of town starting by the Walmart, not sure if I hit all the areas you mentioned or not. Because of the highway I had never seen the northern part of town until then. We used to always drive through the downtown area and think that was it.

back in the 60s and 70s it was good. after swing shift at the mill was the place to go. seemed to win at pull-tabs quite a bit. my older son and I went there about 10 years ago. very disappointed. greasy burnt chicken. what a letdown.
