Over 150 years ago, Edmund Sylvester identified the region and town we now know as Olympia, Washington. Fishing, hunting and trading, supported early economies. Additionally, the power potential from nearby rivers was a large draw to bringing entrepreneurs. The area was quickly supported by government entities, eventually making it the capital of Washington State. Today, Olympia is graced with a burgeoning population and plenty of natural beauty. Mild winters and warm summers¹ create an easy-living atmosphere and a naturally temperate environment, making it an extremely hospitable place for families to live.
