Olympia is more than just the state capital of Washington. It is a vibrant community-centered city with plenty of exciting entertainment options for residents and visitors alike. Olympia prides itself on supporting independent businesses, with popular local farmers markets, cafes, and handcrafted beer and wine.

Breweries are plentiful as well, like Fish Tale Brew Pub and Three Magnets Brewing Co.
Restaurants range from casual to fine dining in Olympia, but waterfront dining is always a local favorite.

Budd Bay Café is another local favorite, with 180-degree bay views overlooking the marina.
Hike the trails at Priest Point Park, kayak on the bay, fish on the docks, or simply enjoy the great outdoors at one of the many community spots in the area. Olympia is within minutes of countless recreational destinations, including Capitol State Forest, Olympic National Forest, and Mount Rainier National Park.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
