The city of Olympia is Washington’s state capital and the seat of Thurston County. It is home to about 46,500 people, the Evergreen State College and the South Puget Sound Community College, and many regional and state parks. The city is largely suburban but has a small, urban center thanks to the Capitol building and many shops and restaurants.

Olympia is located on Budd Inlet on the southern end of the Puget Sound. It is south of major cities like Seattle and Tacoma, and bordered by smaller communities like Tumwater and Lacey. The state's capital city offers a wide variety of properties for home buyers, whether they're looking for condominiums, townhouses, or single-family residences. Homes for sale in the area range from well-established to brand new construction. Olympia also boasts a mixture of rural, suburban and waterfront settings, and there's often a view of Mt. Rainier to enjoy.
