Olympia is in the South Sound region of Washington.
WA-Olympia-2012.10.05-182230-IMG 0030 - |The State Capitol Building rises over Capitol Lake Park
Olympia is the capital of Washington State, and the Thurston County seat. The city reflects a diverse economic base and culture. It has a population of 46,478 (2021 Census) and is also home to The Evergreen State College, one of six public four-year schools in Washington.
Olympia's art and music scene is unusually large and active for a town of its size, and its identity as a city remains distinct despite strong influences from Seattle, Tacoma and Everett (Washington) | Everett to the north and from Portland/Vancouver (Washington) | Vancouver to the south. Olympia is somewhat of a breeding ground for Pacific Northwest alternative culture having spawned or influenced many of the region's better-known personalities.
The city's downtown core has been designated as a National Historic District.
The natural beauty of Olympia is of particular note. From downtown, one can see the Olympic Mountains to the northwest set behind Puget Sound's Budd Bay - and towering Mt. Rainier to the southeast set next to the state capitol building and Capitol Lake.
