Living in Olympia

Olympia delivers a distinct Pacific Northwest lifestyle where the seat of Washington state government blends seamlessly with an independent, nature-focused community. Perched at the southernmost tip of Puget Sound where the Deschutes River feeds Budd Inlet, the city pairs stunning views of the Olympic Mountains and the gold-domed Capitol Campus with lush green space. For relocating nurses, Olympia offers manageable daily commutes along Interstate 5 and US-101, complemented by Thurston County's completely fare-free Intercity Transit bus network.

Residential choices range from walkable historic streets in South Capitol to tree-canopied homes on the Eastside and newer construction in Southeast Olympia. Downtown life revolves around the mile-long boardwalk at Percival Landing, local seafood spots, and the bustling year-round Olympia Farmers Market. Outdoor adventures are minutes away at Tumwater Falls, Squaxin Park, and the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. Relocating healthcare professionals should expect extended, overcast gray stretches between October and April, alongside visible urban challenges downtown. However, Olympia's rich arts culture, top-rated schools, and laid-back rhythm make it an exceptionally rewarding home.
