Ember Goods

you're on washington st se, a few blocks from the washington state capitol building, which means this part of olympia has a particular energy to it, somewhere between civic and unhurried. ember goods sits at 422, and it's built a following here that feels genuinely earned rather than manufactured. regulars come back, keep coming back, which in a city this size says more than any headline could. olympia has always had an independent streak, and a roaster operating on this street fits that without needing to announce it. if you're passing through on a weekday morning, or just done with whatever brought you downtown, this is a reasonable place to land. start with whatever's on the bar that day.
