These are great!

The Olympia Knitting Mills were an important part of the early manufacturing history of Olympia. The concrete manufacturing complex was built during a high growth period in Olympia was joined in 1929 by a Mission Revival Style office designed by local architect Joseph Wohleb.
From this factory, the Olympia Knitting Mills produced and sold knitted product including sweaters, swimsuits, coats, mufflers, mittens, golf and hunting jackets, and scarves that were sold carrying a "Made in Olympia" label.
The company folded in 1929 and the building took on a variety of uses, including serving temporarily as the Olympia High School gym, and as the headquarters for K Records in the 1990s.
Today, the historic Olympia Knitting Mills building is home to Fish Brewing Company.
