Hanging out down along the waterfront boardwalk in Olympia offers quirky sculptures, lots of boats, views of the Capitol dome as well as the Olympic Mountains - & it is walking distance to a number of restaurants as well as Farmer's Market.
The Kissing Couple sculpture is a favorite place to take a photo, or even surprise your sweetie with a marriage proposal.
You can dream about owning a sailboat or check out whether there are any big ships in loading up at the port.
You can also walk over to the interactive fountain plaza that in warm weather becomes Olympia's version of an outdoor swimming pool - usually full of children (of all ages) enjoying those blasts of cooling water. Or grab a sandwich or snack and relax on the benches along the boardwalk or in the park while the kids play.
During the various festivals in the summer months, the boardwalk is jampacked with vendor booths and you are almost guaranteed to see someone you know while you stroll along. Just a great place for friends, couples, families, out of town guests - head on down to enjoy Olympia's waterfront wonders!
