As stated in Estately, the “vegetarian options are abundant, and there are frequent protests.” It mentions a class held at Evergreen State College called “looking at animals,” and has the geoduck as its mascot.

Eugene, Ore. came in at number one. Perhaps it was because Ken Kesey was a native, or perhaps it’s because you can buy tie-dyed underwear from a number of stores. According to Estately, a local bicycle shop gives away free tofu every time the local Les Schwab gives away free beef.

Also on the list, Portland (#5), Ithaca, NY (#7), and Berkeley, Calif. (#8).

I live here.(family reasons)

Correction: I reside here. Living and Olympia are mutually exclusive in my vernacular.

A neighboring community to where I live was recently described in the local news rag as “the place where hipsters go to have kids”.

I’m sure the Chamber of Commerce there is just thrilled about THAT one!

A REAL hippie wouldn’t even know what “Facebook” is.

Is ‘exist’, perhaps a more accurate term?

Im sure being home to the Evergreen State College had nothing to do with this rating.

I was in Amherst,Massachusetts the other day,which is one of the filthiest,most Marxist towns in the nation.We saw a C5 from a nearby AF base flying overhead...pretty low...and I laughed and said to my sister "I'll bet the folks around here are thrilled to see *that*".I just wish he was flying a bit lower because those things are *loud*.

**Local city named one of the grooviest places for hippies**

Shout this from the rooftops!
Hand this article to every hippy you encounter!

Maybe they’ll all move out there and leave me alone.
