Review of Olympia, Washington


Quality of Life in Olympia, WA
Star Rating - 5/4/2007
Quality of life in Olympia, WA is outstanding. The city is located within a couple of hours drive to the Pacific Ocean, The Cascade Mountains and Eastern Washington which is mostly desert and open farm land. Located at the southern most tip of Puget Sound Olympia is home to outstanding seafood with the specialty crop being tiny Olympia oysters. Washington is a liberal state and is for the most part very "green." Olympia is home to the Parade of the Species annual parade and the twice yearly "Arts Walk" both of which attract thousands of visitors. The Evergreen State College is located just outside of Olympia which accounts for the large culture merge within the city.
