Olympia is a compact, walkable state capital on the southern tip of Puget Sound with a friendly, artsy downtown—farmers markets, coffee shops, craft breweries, waterfront parks and easy trails—making it an appealing place to spend multi‑week therapy contracts without feeling stuck.
You’re also within easy reach of Tacoma (~30 miles) and Seattle (~60 miles) for big‑city dining, museums and airports, plus weekend escapes to the Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound for hiking, kayaking and beaches.
