Located at the most southern end of Puget Sound, our region is close to many of the state's natural
wonders. The Olympic Peninsula, with its miles of coastline and lush rain forest is just northwest of here, Mount Rainier National Park is an easy drive from Thurston County, and Puget Sound is right at our doorstep for all the lures of waterfront activities. A number of rural communities in the surrounding areas offer peaceful neighborhoods in the midst of beautiful scenery. For big-city activities, Seattle is only an hour north, and Portland two hours to the south. |
