Take a Family Bike Ride Along the Yelm-Rainier-Tenino Trail
Olympia balances its seriousness as the state capital with a notorious funkiness and laid back, indie vibe.
Straddling Capitol Lake and Budd Inlet, miles of waterfront make for long walks and great views: Percival Landing, with its mile-long boardwalk, hosts one of the biggest farmers markets in the state and views of the Capitol Building and the Olympic Mountains.
Capitol Lake also offers a 1.7 idyllic loop popular with walkers, joggers, and birdwatchers. Within walking distance of both is Olympia’s historic district, a quaint downtown full of curiosities and coffee shops.
Olympia is a haven for artists, too, with murals on walls throughout the city, art walks, galleries, theaters, and music venues. Acclaimed restaurants take up prime real estate along the waterfront, while an incredible assortment of dining opportunities abound downtown.
