Washington Thurston County Tumwater

Why Live in Tumwater

Tumwater in Washington sits right next to Olympia, and daily life tends to flow between the two, especially for commuters who use Interstate 5 to get to state office buildings and other jobs. Many residents spend evenings at local high school games, where the Tumwater Thunder Birds draw crowds for football, basketball and volleyball. The Tumwater School District 33 serves the area and is known for strong overall ratings, which appeals to households looking for public school options. Outdoor recreation is a big part of Tumwater’s appeal. Brewery Park, created on land from the former Old Olympia Brewery, features about 15 acres of trails and direct access to the Deschutes River for swimming, kayaking and canoeing, and Millersylvania State Park sits just south of town. The historic Davis Meeker Oak Tree, more than 400 years old, remains a local landmark as the community works through safety and environmental concerns. Housing here leans newer than in nearby Olympia, with many owner-occupied homes around 2,500 square feet built in the early 2000s, plus manufactured home communities on the west side. Shopping centers near I-5 cover everyday needs with big box stores, national retailers, Italian spots, pizza places and breweries, while Downtown Olympia about 5 miles away features more restaurants, bars and shops. Intercity Transit buses, the nearby Olympia Regional Airport and Seattle–Tacoma International Airport about 50 miles away round out the area’s transportation features.
