Washington State Capitol Building and Campus 416 Sid Snyder Avenue Southwest, Olympia, WA 98504

"Great architecture to enjoy. There are guided tours available at 11:30 AM on Saturday. Self guided tours are there. Plenty of parking around the area. Weekends are free parking as well as Friday after 5 pm. The area is more or less empty earlier in the day."

"Very beautiful place, open to public, recommend to visit if you live here or just a tourist, there’s a nice park with a memorial and a lake nearby. The Capitol building was built in 1928 and it still impressive. Beautifully decorated for the Christmas season with a big new year tree and toys. Open for visitors even during the weekend, I came here on Sunday and the place was very quiet, not many people."

"Absolutely stunning! I love the art deco architecture. I recommend taking the tour. Usually I like to go through faster and don't take tours, but not only do you get more info on the tour, they also let you into rooms that are otherwise closed to visitors."

"The building is really lovely, but it's very soulless. There's nothing on the walls, nothing posted about the history of the building, and we couldn't go into the galleries to see the chambers."

"Highly recommend to visit this place. First, a grassy area with a fountain, fabulous and picturesque. Second, legislation building, majestic and phenomenal. Inside and outside are masterpieces of architecture. 100 years history and politics. Cherry blossoms are wonderful in late March or early April. You can visit inside the building 7 days a week freely or by a tour. Listen to senate speakers from gallery in 3rd floor if you have a chance. At the end, buy souvenirs from gift shops in 1st floor. Third, back of the building, a magnificent garden with trees and flowers. I saw bride and groom photography there. Several parking lots in different locations. They are free at the weekend but metered at weekdays."
