Olympia is the capital of the State of Washington and the county seat of Thurston County. It was incorporated on January 28, 1859. The population was documented as 46,478 in the 2010 census. The city borders Lacey, to the east, and Tumwater to the south. Olympia is a major cultural center of the Puget Sound region. Olympia is located 60 miles (100 km) from Seattle, the largest city in the state of Washington.
The site of Olympia has been home to Lushootseed-speaking peoples for thousands of years, including Squaxin, Nisqually, Puyallup, Chehalis, Suquamish, and Duwamish.
The first recorded visit by Europeans was in 1792 when Peter Puget and a crew from the British Vancouver Expedition charted the site. In 1846, Edmund Sylvester and Levi Smith jointly claimed the land that now comprises downtown Olympia. In 1851, the U.S. Congress established the Customs District of Puget Sound for Washington Territory and Olympia became the home of the customs house. Its population steadily expanded from Oregon Trail immigrants. In 1850, the town settled on the name Olympia, at the suggestion of local resident Colonel Isaac N. Ebey, due to its view of the Olympic Mountains to the Northwest. The area began to be served by a small fleet of steamboats known as the Puget Sound Mosquito Fleet.
The name Olympia may refer to:

Things to do when you're bored this summer! Latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_PHsIv6mQA&list;=PLDUsRvRj23vfzgPF73f3HZJfRw6YGoViL&index;=1 Hey! Okay so this video is a little different than my normal videos but I thought it would be a cool mix of a "What To Do When You're Bored" video and a travel video! I made this video over 2 different trips to Seattle and it was mostly cloudy (of course) but I think there are a couple days of sunny footage in here! I have 6 ideas of things to do, there's so much more you could do but these are some of the most well known and I thought it would be cool for you all to see it from my perspective.
