Catching Up

Hi...It's Ollie again. I was soooo busy having fun this summer that I just got my blog up and running. My first few posts will be catching everyone up on the adventures I have already had then I will try to keep you up to date as the year goes on.

I am sure many of you are familiar with one of my favorite places....

STARBUCKS!!!

Here I am with some of the baristas that helped out at our Run With Cops, Not From Them 5K fun run.

After Starbucks I spent some time at Richmond Beach Saltwater Park. Seattle has lots of fun parks, many of them right on the water so you can explore and discover many of my fellow saltwater creatures living on the beach!

I like to ride the Metro bus for my exploring....the bus system downtown is very good and can help you get around Seattle without a car quite easily. Parking in downtown Seattle is very expensive so I use public transportation as often as possible. Most people will ride INSIDE the bus though...I love the feel of fresh air on my dorsal fin riding up front!

Well, gotta swim.....Let's be careful out there! Ollie

Hello everybody!

My name is Olivia deOrca but my friends call me "Ollie". I am the official mascot of the Seattle 2009 IAWP Conference. Over the next year I will be travelling around the Pacific Northwest and sharing my adventures with you.

I want you to be as excited as I am to get to know Seattle and the amazing beauty and excitement of the Pacific Northwest!

So check back often and feel free to leave comments or questions about where to go and what to do in my favourite places.

Let's be careful out there! Ollie
