About Us

Hello, and thank you for visiting our website. Olympia Power & Light is an independent newspaper dedicated to all things Olympia, Washington. We write about local news, local art, local politics, local music, local businesses, local people, local community groups… you get the idea.

We publish every two weeks, on Wednesday, and distribute copies for free at coffeeshops, bars, bakeries, libraries, cafeterias, college campuses, theaters, cool stores, and more — over 70 places in all throughout greater Olympia.

We’re always looking for good stories and good writers. Click here if you’re interested in writing for us, or just have an idea for a story.

And yes, we do sell ads. Click here if you’re interested in advertising.

Let us know how we’re doing and what you would like to see in a local paper. Click here for contact information.

Thanks for reading.
