Location, Location, Location!



Olympia and the surrounding communities offer affordable housing options in a beautiful setting with the additional bonus of no traffic congestion or state income tax.

A two-hour drive east gets you to the Cascade Mountains and Mt. Rainier for a world of wintertime play - downhill and cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and snow shoeing. The ancient rain forests of Olympic National Park are just an hour away to the west. The Pacific Ocean also is just over an hour away ... replete with clamming and beachcombing.
