Some of you may have remembered last spring when the Evergreen Nightline began running. It ran on Fridays and Saturdays between midnight and 3AM, and on Sundays between 9PM and midnight.

During the 11-week pilot period, the Nightline carried over 3600 people, for an average of about 38 riders an hour. The ridership was excellent, and the usage was consistently high. On several occasions, the Nightline was almost at full capacity.

This Fall the Nightline will begin again under contract with Intercity Transit and Evergreen. Several changes are being considered, including the changing of route times and the route itself. These are a breakdown of service changes that are proposed based on input from students at Evergreen:

 Revised Route

  • Condense downtown service (loop back into downtown at Plum Street instead of Puget Street)
  • Serve both the Dorm Loop and Red Square.


Enhanced Friday & Saturday Schedule
  • Leave TESC Campus at 12:00M, 12:30AM, and 1:30AM
  • Changed from existing: 12M, 1AM, 2AM

  • Leave Downtown at 12:00M, 1:00AM, and 2:00AM
  • Changed from existing: 12:30AM, 1:30AM, 2:30AM



Possibility to add a 2:30AM departure from campus, and a 3AM departure from downtown.

How important is late-night bus service to you, and what do you think would increase efficiency and use?

Attention everyone!

We’re looking into creating an all inclusive, extensive list of every organization and institution that is in some way involved in Downtown Olympia.

Here is what we’re looking for and why:
Downtown is of great interest to a lot of people and many emotions, many stories many investments have been made and are being made into this great spot on this earth.

We don’t have all the answers, but in the true spirit of community involvement and “open-source” collaboration, we want to bring everyone together, to share stories, to learn from each other and to find a common way ahead.

So, we want to get together with people from the ODA, the PBIA, the EDC, Olyblog and The Olympian, Friends of the Waterfront and Friends of the Library… etc.

Visit us on olyFORUMS to help us complete this list as fast as possible, so we can all get together very soon.

Thanks for your input!
