MICHAEL SWAN: BOSTON HARBOR PIES >>>

When the Weekly Volcano editorial staff wants to have a pie fight with the sales staff, we buy only the best from Boston Harbor Pies in downtown Olympia.  They make pies the old fashioned way at this small storefront on the main drag â€" flaky crust, fresh ingredients and a pleasant staff.  There are a variety of flavors to choose from.  The Strawberry-Rhubarb pie rocks. We especially appreciated the pie's aerodynamics.

They are open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Phone in your orders for cream or specialty whole pies in advance.
