Review & FAQ:

Located at the southern end of Puget Sound, Olympia is the capital of Washington state, a mid-sized city with a unique feel of a small Pacific Northwest small town. The sprawling Washington State Capitol Campus features Capitol Lake, the stately Legislative Building, and the magnificent 1909 Governor’s Mansion. Percival Landing Park on the waterfront has a popular boardwalk and public art. Just outside Olympia is the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, with an estuary that provides home to over 200 bird species. For outdoor enthusiasts, Mount Rainier National Park, Olympic National Park, and the Washington coast are just a short drive away.
