Nestled at the southern tip of Puget Sound, Olympia combines waterfront scenery with the distinction of being Washington's capital city. From historic downtown apartments to residential communities in East Olympia and South Capitol, the housing options are extensive. The rental market remains stable, with current average rents ranging from $1,308 for studios to $2,378 for four-bedroom homes, showing modest year-over-year increases between 0.7% and 2.1%. The city features an extensive trail system, including Squaxin Park (formerly Priest Point Park) with its 150-year-old forest and waterfront access, while downtown hosts the historic Capitol Theater and Washington Center for Performing Arts.
Downtown Olympia centers around Percival Landing, where the year-round Olympia Farmers Market draws visitors to the waterfront boardwalk. The Evergreen State College and South Puget Sound Community College contribute to the city's educational landscape.

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.
