Dear Mayor Mah and Council Members:

Fifteen years ago, Friends of Artesians was formed to create a permanent, publicly owned artesian well in Olympia. For all these years, we have worked steadfastly to achieve this goal.

When we couldn’t get an agreement between Diamond Parking and the City to make the well in the 4th Avenue parking lot a public facility, we turned towards the possibility of drilling a new well on Port property near the Farmers’ Market. For the last several years, we thought we were making progress.
