Squaxin Park Trailhead
Hiking area
πŸ‘πŸ‘ A very pleasant place to hike. Make it as short or as long as you want. . 5 to probably 8 miles pretty easily. Some easy paths, some more treacherous if you want. Not a swimming beach, but very peaceful walk (hiking shoes highly recommended if you do)

Don de la Colombiana
Restaurant
πŸ‘πŸ‘ A little taste of Colombian street food in downtown Olympia. We selected many items and shared. The natural juices were tasty. The owner, Marly, is absolutely delightful. Definitely worth the stop if you're wanting to practice/speak Spanish. The place is well decorated and had lovely Colombian musi...

Capital Park
Apartment complex
πŸ‘πŸ‘ I've lived in a bunch of apartments in Olympia and Capital Park is by far the best experience I've had. The price is great for the location and Tammy, the manager, is the best manager I've ever had. She is so king and casual and understanding. From the moment I met her I could tell she is an incredi...

🫀 Took a group ariel silk class that was super awkward. The teacher was nice and knowledgeable but didn't seem to want to share the knowledge so you could progress. Seemed a little too preoccupied being too cool for silks to teach silks. I'll probably try another studio next time I want to take a clas...

He shows a genuine interest in his students and does right by them. Guaranteed you will get better just by showing u...

Grass Lake Nature Park Trailhead
Park
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Really nice trail, about 1.4 miles. Found 173 frogs! Really fun little trail. recommended. If you take this trailhead I’d recommend that you take a left , it’s just nicer. At a huge turn they have a map to show where you so you know where to go.

Legends Arcade
Video arcade
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Legends is such a fun addition to Olympia, gone are the days of the old school arcades and for those that remember and miss those times- this is the place for you. So many games and pinball machines to spend as little or as long as you want. When there became a need for a reunion location we booked...

Coffee shop
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Finally somewhere local that not only has kombucha on tap (and bottled) but they can add CBD to any drink! I have a CBD infused ginger kombucha this time but look forward to trying their coffee as well. Good selection of CBD products in their coffee side as well, many of their own brand which was co...

Olympia Family Theater
Performing arts theater
πŸ‘πŸ‘ It's a charming little theater, but one doesn't go to OFT primarily for the ambience. Great theater camps for kids, and professional performances for kids and their parents.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Having an affordable place to stay during times when it's necessary to receive treatments or be near to others doing so, can be invaluable in many cases. The availability of Sunshine House makes possible the chance to support those we love without creating additional financial burdens that, in some...

Harlequin Productions
Non-profit organization
πŸ‘ Love this theater, my only problem is I wish it were truly a local professional theater. Seems most of the actors come from Seattle which is fine, but disappointing. Rehearsals are even held in the Seattle area at least sometimes which deters some great local talent even more.
