Welcome To Olympia, WA

Enjoy the Sights and Sounds of the West Coast in Olympia, WA

The state capital city is situated on the southern edge of Puget Sound in the west-central region of Washington. The historic downtown area features exceptional dining opportunities. The west side of the city is considered the shopping district with malls and name brand store selections. The pleasant year round weather and amazing scenery makes Olympia a great place for outdoor recreation. Popular city attractions include the Olympia Flight Museum, the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, the Children's Museum and tours of the capital building.

Things To Do

The local Earth Day celebration is called the Procession of the Species. Residents of all ages wear colorful and creative costumes and masks to walk through the city streets. Some carry banners. Others carry windsocks or giant puppets. The event transcends all cultural communities.

In celebration of the historic use of the local waterways, the community hosts the annual Olympia Wooden Boat Fair. Guests have the chance to stroll around and explore the many types of classic wooden boats commonly used here. Children have the chance to build their own water vessel with supplied materials. The location also features dozens of arts and craft booths.

During the yearly May Steamboat Stringband Jamboree, musicians provide concerts using only a variety of string-based instruments. There are also food and craft vendors on hand along with beer and other beverages. Jams are ongoing inside and outside tents. When the sun goes down, minstrels provide serenades around bonfires.

Every year, the Flight Museum presents the Olympic Air Show. The Father's Day weekend event occurs at the Olympia Regional Airport and features aerial acrobatics performed by seasoned pilots. Historic aircraft are on display dating back to WWII.
