My house is at the top of a small hill and the rental is just below it with an unobstructed view of Olympias West Bay. A few yards from the door, a little path leads right down to West Bay Park, a great place for walking and watching seagulls and herons. You can also launch your kayak or paddleboard there. When weather permits, it is pleasant to sit on the deck and watch the tides, sailboats, animals, birds, weather changes, sunrise, moonrise, Mt. Rainer, and the night sky. There are unlimited opportunities nearby for hiking, kayaking, short walks, and day trips to other nature spots. Here you can reconnect to nature, within a few miles from downtown Olympia.
