Welcome to the Olympia Washington, Lacey and Tumwater web site. Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater are three individual cities that make up the rich cultural area of Thurston County where festivals, art, dining, music and nature engage the senses at every turn. The triad is located on the intricate tentacles of the Puget Sound just 61 miles south of Seattle.

Hiking and biking captivate outdoor enthusiasts in the Capitol Forest and the Chehalis Western Trail as well as the many parks, gardens and nature preserves of Thurston County. Here, you can also find some of the most enjoyable kayaking in Washington and the Puget Sound or watch thousands of Chinook salmon make their way upriver.

History buffs will delight in visiting the Washington State Capitol Building and sites such as the end of the Oregon Trail. Meeting Planners interested in Washington will find our Thurston County Meeting Planners Guide available to assist with successful meetings. Our Washington Visitor Guide featuring Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater will help visitors with accommodations, dining, recreation, music and planning the perfect itinerary.

The site also has a thorough list of Olympia restaurants, Tumwater restaurants and Lacey restaurants including lodging and festivals for all three of these unique cities.  Be sure not to overlook the coupons that offer discounts and savings for every traveler.
