What questions do you have about Olympia? Leave them here!

[@davidwysocki1004]

And I found your video presentation to be helpful.

[@livelovelacey]

@@davidwysocki1004 Excellent! Let me know if you have any questions I can answer for you.

Hi! I would like to know to know more about schools in Olympia? For Elementary and intermediate Schools specifically.

[@bigfootswatching9986]

Glad I was able to afford to purchase back in 2016 near the Golf Course ..........now it's just unaffordable!!@@livelovelacey

[@bigfootswatching9986]

@@jomisa999 Olympia School District rank's high and I would suggest living in Lacey, Wa. Lot's of nice newer built homes near the Hawks Prairy Golf Course.

I grew up here in Olympia and went back to visit recently, the homeless and drug problems have gotten WAY out of hand. I took my kids to Burfoot park while we were there and came across two meth needles. Downtown was disgusting as well.

[@sethgames9968]

Gotta second this. I think 10 years ago Olympia was great, but now a days I don’t even feel safe living here.

[@fookum_]

Downtown is nothing compared to even 5 years ago lol. Some good food tho!

[@JGirl.7]

@@fookum_I was there over five years ago and it wasn’t great. It’s a shane because the city itself is so nice.

Oly is my heart's home though I was born in Tacoma. I love Oly the best of anyplace in the US. I've been through almost every state in the US,but none are home to me.

[@livelovelacey]

I've lived in several states and lots of different cities and agree....it's definitely home. What's your favorite thing to do in Oly?

[@xScooterAZx]

@@livelovelacey Well,I think it was to hang out with my friends at King Sol's coffee shop. I'm land locked in Phoenix,AZ now though,..sadly. XD

[@davidalexander4043]

been here for 32 years transplant from Florida great places to see

[@davidalexander4043]

move to lacey

[@davidreitter4457]

Living in Oympia is wonderful. Live in a nice area, nice home & next to the mall. Climate great all year round in Olympia. Last winter was a two day snow fall. Country culture. You find fault in Olympia, then you'll find fault anywhere & that will be your fault!

How much rent for 1 one bedroom or studio

[@livelovelacey]

I would say it's about $1,600+/month is an average.

[@wolverine6195]

How long does it take to drive to Seattle from Olympia?

[@livelovelacey]

From downtown to downtown it's a little over an hour, (an hour to an hour and a half depending on traffic). And from downtown to the airport it's between 45 minutes and an hour, depending on traffic. 🙂

[@ToniHunterOne]

It's approximately 63 miles.

[@iowablackbird811]

in normal traffic - which is really heavy on I5, especially going past the US military base, it takes about 90 minutes. spend a couple days checking the normal commute times for an average. 60 minutes to the airport, 90 to downtown - or a 3 hour daily (very long) commute.

[@davidalexander4043]

10 min up the road

[@davidalexander4043]

being single is ok in oly old town is great

[@davidalexander4043]

just do not cruse down Friday night Saturday night cops will pull you over 11pm-2am

[@bigfootswatching9986]

I would say Lacey is nicer than Olympia!!

[@livelovelacey]

I love lacey too! Do you have a favorite restaurant in Lacey?

[@wilkeyc9]

Dear how could you IGNORE the scourge of homeless that Olympia is unwilling to fix? Could we perhaps have a bit more honesty

[@genripper-b8q]

how could you IGNORE that she sells real estate in olympia?

[@alanbailey9100]

It rains 9 months of the year in Olympia. If you like Leftist politics and the failure that always accompanies it, this is the place for you!

[@dermlover1]

At least no state income tax like Oregon. I would literally be making 2K more a month if I moved 2 hours North.

[@iowablackbird811]

@@dermlover1 yeah but a pretty hefty regressive sales tax that you have to pay for everything you purchase in a year. washington state has one of the most regressive tax system in the united states. great if you're a millionaire, i guess.
