Nestled in the heart of Puget Sound, Olympia is truly defined by its water. But the Port of Olympia is much more than a place to dock ships. For the past 100 years, they’ve facilitated the growth of business, tourism, civic development, and even host some of the best events in town.
Does your boat need maintenance or repair? Swantown Boatworks, owned and operated by the Port of Olympia is your one-stop Do-It-Yourself (DIY) boatyard.
In 1922 the iconic Lincoln Memorial was dedicated, Readers Digest magazine published their first issue, and Walgreens introduced malted milkshakes. Closer to home, the Port of Olympia district came into being thanks to hardworking civic partnerships and a shared passion for economic growth. Now, a century later, we still reap the benefits of this #workingwaterfront and its tremendous outreach throughout Thurston County.
