I think Tumwater is a lovely town in Washington. I have only lived in Tumwater for a year, but I love its convenient location. Tumwater has many parks to visit, and has a lot of good food; specifically Ramirez Brothers. I am happy to call Tumwater home.
I like that Tumwater is a small town with lots of character. The mom and pop stores in this area still compete with the big box stores. The town itself is clean, there is public amenities such as the library, the Tumwater Falls park, and a charming selection of local restaurants and breweries to dine at. There is not much to do by way of nightlife directly in Tumwater sans a few spots that may be open late however Olympia is the adjacent town and there is much to do within a 10 minute drive. There are several major groceries stores and chain food restaurants.
Great town! Lived here most of my life. But I have my fair share of traveling, so I know what other places look like. I would still always choose to live here. It is the beautiful, classic Pacific Northwest feel. It used to be smaller, less crowded, but you get used to its bigger size as soon as you're there for a bit. Great schools (Tumwater HS and Black Hills HS).
