Employee Picnic

Kayleigh Fowler on July 22, 2026

Rain may have been in the forecast this year, but it certainly didn’t dampen the fun at our annual Employee Picnic! We enjoyed gathering in our beautiful outdoor Pavilion, where employees from across the organization had the chance to relax, connect, and enjoy time together.

The afternoon featured a delicious lunch from Seventeen51, refreshing treats from Kona Ice, and plenty of laughter. Our Human Resources Department also kept the excitement going all week long by raffling off a variety of fun prizes, giving employees even more reasons to celebrate.

The Employee Picnic is always a favorite tradition because it gives us the opportunity to step away from our daily routines, catch up with coworkers we may not see often, and strengthen the connections that make Panorama such a special place to work. Rain or shine, it’s a wonderful reminder that one of our greatest strengths is the incredible team of people who make our community feel like home.

Our residents recently enjoyed a special presentation from the Thurston County Sheriff’s K-9 Unit. Deputies shared information about the K-9 program and the important work these highly trained teams do throughout the community. The presentation also included a live demonstration, giving residents the opportunity to see the K-9s and their handlers in action. It was a fun and informative event that was enjoyed by all who attended!

Kayleigh Fowler on July 9, 2026

Our annual 4th of July celebration is always a highlight of the summer, and this year was no exception!

Residents enjoyed delicious food from Seventeen51 Restaurant & Bistro at Panorama, refreshing ice cream, live entertainment, fun lawn games, and an incredible display of unique cars.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special. We can’t wait to celebrate again next year!

Pool Renovation

Kayleigh Fowler on July 9, 2026

After several months of renovation, we’re excited to welcome residents back to our newly transformed Aquatic & Fitness Center Pool! Every improvement was designed to create a safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable experience for everyone who uses the facility.

Here’s what’s new:

  • A brand-new non-slip pool deck for improved safety and confidence underfoot—a major upgrade from the previous tile flooring.
  • Brighter, warmer lighting throughout the aquatic area, creating a more inviting atmosphere.
  • Clearly marked lane lines extending the full length of the Main Pool’s three lap lanes for easier workouts.
  • Fresh new plaster in all three pools, giving each one a clean, refreshed look and feel.
  • Expanded space in the Warm Pool thanks to the removal of the sitting area stairs.
  • New 18-foot wall clocks installed throughout the aquatic area, making them easy to see from anywhere in the pools.
  • User-controlled individual pool lifts that provide greater independence and accessibility.
  • Improved reliability with a new pool manager building, helping reduce equipment downtime and maintenance issues.
  • Enhanced comfort through an updated HVAC system that delivers better temperature and humidity control on the pool deck.
  • A completely refreshed color palette inspired by the Pacific Northwest, featuring a modern yet cozy feel that beautifully complements the iconic running salmon sculptures displayed high above the aquatic area.

Whether residents are swimming laps, participating in aquatic fitness classes, or simply enjoying time in the water, we hope they will love all of the improvements that make our Aquatic & Fitness Pool better than ever.

Panorama Pathways 5k

Kayleigh Fowler on June 17, 2026

One of the many ways we celebrate wellness together at Panorama is through our annual Pathways event, a fun and healthy tradition that brings our community together each year.

Participants enjoy a 3.1-mile walk, jog, or ride through campus, beginning at the Aquatic and Fitness Center and finishing at the Pavilion. More than just a fitness event, Panorama Pathways is an opportunity for residents, staff, and families to connect, encourage one another, and enjoy an active morning together. The event promotes movement, friendship, and a shared commitment to well-being while creating lasting memories across generations.

An added bonus this year was the return of the Olympia Baseball Club 12U team, whose enthusiasm brought extra energy and excitement. The team members cheered on participants and handed out water while encouraging everyone along the way. Their positive spirit and community involvement have become a wonderful addition to Panorama Pathways, making an already special event even more memorable.

Events like Panorama Pathways reflect our shared commitment to healthy living, active lifestyles, and the strong sense of community that makes Panorama such a special place to call home.

Pub Trivia

Kayleigh Fowler on April 24, 2026

Pub Trivia has become a resident favorite, drawing a strong turnout each month at our on-campus restaurant, Seventeen51. Hosted by our Lifestyle Enrichment Department, the event offers a straightforward mix of socializing and friendly competition.

Residents form teams—often with humorous or creative names—and work together to answer questions spanning a variety of topics. The format keeps things moving, encourages participation, and gives everyone a chance to contribute.

What makes the event stand out is its balance: it’s structured enough to be engaging, but relaxed enough that anyone can join in, regardless of trivia experience. Conversations flow easily, teams collaborate, and there’s plenty of laughter along the way.

Pub Trivia continues to be a reliable, well-attended program that brings residents together in a fun, low-pressure setting.

Books, Balls & Board Games!

Kayleigh Fowler on April 14, 2026

Throughout March, our residents and staff came together in an inspiring show of generosity for our Books, Balls & Board Game Drive. Thanks to their enthusiasm and support, we collected 58 balls, 66 games, and 134 books, all of which were donated to students at Lakes Elementary School in Lacey, Washington to help recognize and reward the amazing work their students do every day!

We are continually blown away by the generosity of our community. Time and time again, residents and staff step up with kindness, enthusiasm, and a genuine desire to give back. Their collective spirit of giving makes a lasting difference and continues to inspire us every day.

New Resident Portal Launch!

Kayleigh Fowler on March 4, 2026

We’re excited to announce that our new Resident Portal officially launched last week! This innovative platform is designed to make finding important information and updates faster, easier, and more streamlined for everyone in our community.

Six years have passed since our original portal debuted, and while it served us well, technology doesn’t stand still. It was time for an upgrade – a portal that is more intuitive, user-friendly, and interactive for both residents and staff alike.

Kya offers a central hub for:

  • Daily announcements and updates
  • Important documents, including campus policies
  • Menus from our on-campus restaurant, Seventeen51
  • Communication pieces like our on-campus newsletter
    …and much more!

We hosted a comprehensive presentation covering all aspects of the new site, with 295 residents joining us in the Auditorium and an additional 130 participating via Zoom. The turnout was fantastic, and we are thrilled to see our residents fully take advantage of this portal.

The logo, designed for the portal, unites key elements of our community into a single image. It features the Kya statue, a sacred and meaningful landmark in McGandy Park, alongside the red, orange, and yellow hues inspired by the vibrant Chihuly glass sculpture at the entrance of our main building.

Walk to End Alzheimer’s

Kayleigh Fowler on October 29, 2025

Each year, our residents and staff participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. It’s always an inspiring day- filled with hope, remembrance, and connection.

The walk is not only a chance to honor those affected by Alzheimer’s but also a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community. Each step reminds us of the strength we have when we unite for a shared purpose. From friends and families to local organizations and volunteers, everyone plays a part in creating awareness, raising funds, and offering support.

We’re grateful to be part of such a meaningful cause and to share this experience with so many caring people.

Hygiene Drive

Kayleigh Fowler on September 16, 2025

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our residents and staff, we are proud to share that our August Hygiene Drive was a resounding success! Together, we collected 15 full boxes of essential hygiene products to support the South Sound YMCA Shower Appointment Program.

Drives like this are about more than donations. They are about showing up for one another, stepping outside of our individual lives, and recognizing the power we have when we come together for a greater purpose. These opportunities remind us that giving back isn’t just a gesture – it’s an act of solidarity, empathy, and shared humanity.
