Is that near the old Oly brewing factory?

Yes, exactly. The Brewery is just out of the picture. Also, if you go in the fall, the entire water is filled with salmon going to spawn. It’s magical.

Yah I think so. The whole area over there is pretty cool with the salmon viewing window

It’s right next to the falls. The park is called brewery park at Tumwater Falls and it’s really a total gem. The brewery is completely fucked but it would probably be fun to go in an explore it.

If only you could just type "tumwater falls" into google and immediately answer your own question.

Yeah, why try to connect with people when you can just google stuff? I thought it was an interesting picture and I seemed to recall it was in the same area. Fuck me right?

I've been meaning to check it out. Is it sketchy?

Not sketchy, well kept trails along the river, a few waterfalls, educational stuff about salmon breeding. If you go in the spring you can see the tiny salmon hatchlings before they leave the human made breeding grounds, in the fall you can see the adult salmon finishing their journey upriver (and up waterfalls) to reach the place of their birth. It's an awesome sight to behold (though a little sad because they are close to the end of their life at this stage)

Very nice place to go. Not sketchy.

You may want to wait until they clear the fallen rock on the brewery side that part of the trail was closed off (and has been since the storm 2 weeks ago) as recent as Monday so you could not do the full loop. Otherwise this is a great visit with recent hatchery improvements so you can view fish through the glass and an extended bike walking path so you can go all the way to the Capital. There are no fish at the hatchery ATM so you may want to wait until they run again. August - November is a great time to see the fish jump in the falls.

Nah, I feel ya. That's why I asked. I live just west of olympia.

Oh, maybe you would know, is that an abandoned warehouse out nearish the falls? It looks creepy.
