What's happening this weekend in Thurston County

There are a number of events taking place this weekend in Thurston County, including a production of "Single Black Female" at South Puget Sound Community College (SPSCC).

'Single Black Female' (OLYMPIA) 
Saturday, Feb. 21 

Directed by SPSCC alumna Raessa Patterson, the production explores the lives of two close friends — successful, single Black women — as they navigate love, identity, expectations, and the sometimes‑absurd realities of modern womanhood. 

Black History Month Movie: 'Since I Been Down' (OLYMPIA) 
Sunday, Feb. 22, 2-4 p.m. 

"Since I Been Down" tells the dramatic story of how an American community held captive by 1990’s punitive policies led children into gangs, violence, and for a false sense of safety, security and prosperity, this community rushed to discard the poorest, targeted brown and black youth into prisons for life.

Love Letters to Olympia Pop Up- Batdorf and Bronson (OLYMPIA) 
Saturday, Feb. 21, 10 a.m.-12 p.m. 

This interactive writing station invites you to share exactly what makes downtown special to you. Visit one of the two pop-up sessions to add your voice to the community board — your words might just become the soundtrack to the next social media feature. 

Planting Work Party at West Bay Woods (OLYMPIA) 
Saturday, Feb. 21, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. 

Join other volunteers for a few hours of fresh air, engaging conversation, and hands-on work that makes a real difference for the environment. The team will provide coffee, tea, snacks, and water.  

Oblivion Pro Wrestling (LACEY) 
Saturday, Feb. 21, 6-8 p.m. 

On Feb. 21, every match matters. Every moment is a fight for survival. And everybody is chasing the same thing: the fastest path to the throne.
