The Capitol Campus is managed by Washington State. Visit their website for information including campus hours, driving directions, Capitol facts and history, and event and tour scheduling.
Parking at or near the Capitol
Washington State provides parking for visitors in lots and metered parking spaces at the Capitol Campus. View the Capitol Campus map.
The City of Olympia also provides metered on-street parking just north (toward the water) of the Campus, and throughout downtown. View our interactive parking map on our Downtown Parking Options page.
Warning! Neighborhood parking is for residents
To the south of the Capitol is the historic South Capitol Residential Neighborhood. While short-term, on-street parking is available in that neighborhood, it is closely enforced.
We encourage you to respect the residential nature of this neighborhood and to park elsewhere.
