Thurston County

Thurston County is located at the extreme southern end of Puget Sound. Its county seat is Olympia, also the state capital. Along with Tumwater, the site of the first settlement, and Lacey, this is the major population center.

Highway 101, also known as the Olympic Highway, leaves Olympia going northwest. Highway 8, the fast route to the coast, branches off westward a few miles out of town.
