Olympia, the capital of Washington State, is well-known for housing the Legislative Building. Migratory birds reside in this city as well. While paddling a canoe or boat across Nisqually River or McAllister Creek, you might be fortunate enough to spot an American Bittern, a medium-sized heron. In late August, people swarm Deschutes River to witness the salmon return and to witness the magnificent waterfalls. Its Westside neighborhood, boasting shopping centers, is a perfect destination for shopaholics. Meanwhile, East Bay Inlet is the right choice for adventurers to hike to Priest Point Park.
