The Best City In America Is Actually Right Here In Washington
Every part of Washington (and we do mean every part) has its own beauty and unique characteristics. Part of the appeal of living in the Evergreen State is that there’s something for everyone, from city skylines to quiet farm land to oceanfront homes.
But today, we’re making the case for our capital city, Olympia, which was named one of America’s Best Places to Live by Livability.com and has been named on several other “best places” lists. And before you laugh in disbelief, you may want to experience all this city has to offer.
The city sits on the southern tip of the Puget Sound. It's close to Seattle, Portland and the coast, not to mention the amazing Olympic Peninsula. You can be in Eastern Washington in 4-5 hours as well.
The cost of living here is quite reasonable for a city of its size (and for Western Washington).
This is Arepa, a delicious Venezuelan street food truck. Cascadia Grill, RJ’s Gourmet Grill and La Petite Maison are just a few of the other excellent restaurants you'll find here.
These treats are from the Olympia Coffee Roasting Company.
If you enjoy bird watching or just hiking through nature, you'll love this place.
This is the Swantown Marina at the Port of Olympia.
It's held downtown year round, but the dates vary. From January-March it's Saturdays only, but during the summer they're open Thursday-Sunday.
This is Percival Landing, a perfect place for a stroll.
Spend a little time here and you'll see why our capital city makes so many "best places to live" lists.
Ready to drop everything and move to Olympia? Before you do, you may want to visit Sequim as well.
