Being the capital they do have a lot there to do and it is not far from Tacoma and Seattle. Even getting to Portland is easy. Olympia is a blue city making it bearable as far as politics. The traffic is better than Tacoma and up. Actually Tumwater and Lacey are good. They actually run into Olympia and is sort of one big city. You can easily choose to be in the country or the city and still be where everything is.
