OLYMPIA, is always growing and changing! With the times and the growing population is is friendly and welcoming for all walks 9f life! Family's, young students, the retired, even tourists! Thoufh this town is evolving in green technology and in aims to help restore the environment it has history that is always present. Local business have nostalgia of the the loggers and immigrants that built this town, and both to mention the beautiful state capital building over looking capital lake and the Puget sound area.
The best things about Olympia are its coffee and sightseeing! There are dozens of coffee shops and stands that cater to just about every taste imaginable! While you enjoy your cup of hot joe, a walk down 4th Ave will show you all of the small businesses and bars that Olympian s love. A stroll along the waterfront provides beautiful views of the puget sound and often hosts entertaining events such as sand building contests. The water fountain is a childhood favorite of many, and kids enjoy it every summer. Nestled on Capital Lake is our glorious Capital building. They host tours of this beautiful building and is highly recommended. Olympia brings diversity, culture and fun no matter your age.
The atmosphere in this area is just wonderful! There is most definitely a group of people for everyone! There is essentially always something fun to do in the area (whether it be an organized event or not)!
The only downside is that there is a relatively large homeless population in the general area. Although the general public seems to have an easy enough time either avoiding that scene altogether or getting really involved and trying to help out that group of the population!
