Catalyst: A Creative Industries Podcast


Apr 18, 2018

Olympia, the state capital of Washington, in many ways still has the feel of a small town. In a time when so many of our communities, towns, and cities are experiencing the strain of modern day life, Olympia’s 222 Market is bringing together local artisans, restaurateurs, and entrepreneurs with the goal of creating a place for families and friends to connect around local culture and heritage. So how and why was the 222 Market created? What has made it successful? And who are the makers involved?

 

Hosts Taryn Stroop and Shannon Halverson-Gorajia talk to 222 Market developer and owners Gray & Joy Graham and on the makings of 222, and the regional influences that helped to guide everything from the selection of artisans to the design conversion of an old Packard Car showroom.
