Parks & Nature
This is my favorite walk and view in Olympia. The trail is paved and leads to surrounding views of the Puget Sound. If you like a longer walk, you can take the forest trail.

Essentials
This coop is on the West Side! It is very cute. It's a small store and is a member co-op, though all are welcome to shop there. Let them know that you are in from out of town.

Great fresh seafood! I love the Salmon Candy! It is like a maple glazed, smoked salmon. It is delicious. A great snack if you are thinking of taking a picnic to Woodard Bay or the Sound.
