This is a beautiful state. I've lived here for 34 years. I'm going to add to cons. Lately there have been a lot of homeless, drugs and thefts. I'm getting ready to move to another state because of how much crime has risen. It's sad because I used to love it here.
After spending weekends in Oly and Tacoma over the last 20 years, yes, these are right on, especially the traffic on I5. The rain never bothered me, nor did the Big Dark (when I lived in Scotland winter daylight was 6 hours). The farmers market is flat out AMAZING, try the Hawiian Shave Ice Lady. As I roamed the down town many times with my neices, I thought it really could look better with a good cleaning and lots of paint.
You can still work a govt job as a housekeeper, or any service job, the VA is great for getting your foot in the door for govt work! That’s where I started and still work at the VA Health Center

This is eally important info for people who are thinking of moving to Olympia. You really showed the best and worst of it. Thanks for making this video, Austin!
NOt sure about the 'con' of olympia traffic. Yes, it's terrible if you want to go north.....but within the city its rarely a problem...also, if you go south to Portland, it's normally not bad at all...also, how can you fault Olympia for traffic, when the same applies to every city on I-5. I always fly out of Portland....so much easier to deal with than SEATAC.
Traffic? It's only a problem if you are going North. I live in Thurston County because I would hate to live North of here. I commuted from Oly to Seattle for many years... It was terrible. But never really worried about traffic in Olympia itself. Now that I have retired, I rarely find myself going North to Tacoma, Seattle, or Bellevue. There is nothing in those cities that is worth the headaches of traffic in those areas along with the crime, parking issues, homelessness, and costs that is worth the effort to even visit to the North. The only traffic to worry about on a regular basis is the I5-Highway 101 interchange that might add 5 minutes to your trip on a weekday afternoon between 3-6 pm.
the problem with "only a problem if you are going north" is that unless you remain north forever you are going to have to go south. guaranteed that no matter which direction you are going that one of the directions is going to take 50-100% longer
What was supposed to be the big surprising con? I must have missed it, i think most people know it's really rainy in that part of the country and traffic from Seattle is always gonna be ass lol
You mention most job opportunities are in government or service industries. I work as a marketer for construction and engineering currently in CA, considering moving to WA or OR. If I was to move to Olympia, would it be likely I'd have to commute to Tacoma or somewhere else where there were more large businesses? We want to buy a home in the PNW so making an average salary would not be an option.
@@livingintacomawashingtonWith that, we get beautiful long days of daylight in the summer which isn’t a bad trade. I always said it’s the summers that keeps me and my husband in WA. 😊
It looks beautiful, I would love to visit. I visited Seattle and fell in love with the state but the traffic was so heavy all the time and I visited a smaller town are the people stirred me down the whole time😂
