PROCESSION OF THE SPECIES: Editor Matt Driscoll snapped this with his phone last year. He LOVES turtles.
OLYMPIA HOLIDAYS >>>
If Olympia had an official holiday, it would be the day of the annual Procession of the Species.
With no words and no motorized vehicles (except wheelchairs), the procession is a celebration of Earth Day, green power, the web of life ... you name it.
It's also the year's best people-watching opportunity, particularly those people who just wake up the morning of the event and throw something together so they can walk in the procession. For the hip and sardonic, it doesn't get much better.
But the 17th Procession, happening Saturday, April 23, is just the polar ice cap crowning two days of festivities downtown.
