Welcome to the Bigelow Highlands Neighborhood Association (BHNA)! The association strengthens ties among the people in our neighborhood, and between our neighborhood and the City of Olympia. We welcome all residents, renters, property owners, and business owners in our area as members of this non-profit organization.
The neighborhood association boundary runs from Fir Street to Puget Street, and Yew Avenue to Fourth Avenue.
BHNA does not and shall not discriminate. We are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all BHNA neighbors.

Annual Picnic
Mark your calendars for this year's annual picnic. Neighbors gathered to share food, visit, and listen to music at this event in conjunction with National Night Out. See details and pictures from last year's event.
Little Free Libraries
We hope you have noticed the new Little Free Libraries in the neighborhood. BHNA, using grant funding from the City of Olympia, purchased supplies to build four Little free libraries. Neighbors Bob Peller and Marj Shomshor put them together.
You can find the free libraries the following locations:
1600 block of Prospect Avenue NE
800 block of Bethel Street NE
On Thurston between Fir and Turner
1200 block of Glass Avenue NE
Feel free to take a book, donate a book, or both!
Help Fill A Green Bag for Those in Need
Have some canned goods you don't want? How about an extra jar of peanut butter? The Thurston County Food Project makes it easy for you to donate to those who are going hungry. Did you know that 1 in 7 Americans struggle with hunger, and a third of those are children. It's easy to help.
Email BHNA President to join the Green Bag Brigade. We give you a bag. You fill it with as much nonperishable food as you want. Every two months, we pick it up and leave a bag for next time.
