This place is so beautiful! Very peaceful, would definitely recommend to go visit this place with family or friends. Inside it’s amazing all of the hard work that was put into building this place is amazing. The town it’s safe is very small and quit. But definitely recommend to stop by and check it out if your driving by you won’t regret it! To park I believe it was $10 but to enter in we didn’t have to pay anything. Also if your into photography it’s a great place to get some amazing pictures in.

Classy historical building located in downtown Olympia, adds a very historical touch to the surrounding artistic city. Would have never thought they would make a building that looks like a theme park castle and use it as the capitol building, but it adds a big unique factor to the city center.

The craftsmanship and beauty is amazing. I would’ve loved to see this place in his heyday unfortunately downtown Olympia has become Safe Haven for the homeless, drug activity, and all sorts of crazy stuff. It has changed Dramatically and just a few years it’s quite sad actually.

An extremely beautiful historic old capitol building. Great architecture and stained glass. Nice park in front of it. Unfortunately there are a lot of homeless people sleeping in the park in front of it now. It is still worth seeing.

Unfortunately, I was unable to visit the interior, but the exterior is phenomenal and well worth visiting. The George Washington statue out front is a great touch.
