Fun Facts About Olympia, WA

Olympia, WA, is Washington State’s first and only state capital. The Legislative Building Dome is the 4th largest dome in the world. It was built and completed in 1928. Downtown Olympia was largely built on filled land. Over 2 million cubic yards of dirt was used to fill in tidal areas way back in 1910-1911. The city of Olympia has largely relied on Artesian wells to get their water without having to pump it from the ground. A 1930 survey of Olympia identified 96 wells across the city. Here are some other interesting tidbits about Olympia:

  • The city hosts the Procession of the Species, the state’s largest annual Earth Day celebration and community arts parade. This has been known to draw thousands of costumed marchers and tens of thousands of spectators
  • The Olympia Farmers Market is the second largest in Washington State 
  • Music Bands like The Fleetwoods and The Wolves originated in Olympia

FAQ

Local moving costs typically run into the low thousands of dollars, depending on crew size, home size, and distance. Forbes Home puts the local average around $1,544, ranging from $882 to $2,371 for a two-person crew, while long-distance moves average closer to $4,792, varying with weight and mileage. A&E Relocation Services offers transparent pricing tailored to your specific moving needs, factoring in size, distance, and any additional services.

NerdWallet recommends a home walkthrough with your mover for an accurate quote: flag fragile or high-value items, ask what they won’t transport, and video your belongings beforehand. Forbes Home also advises measuring furniture against doorways and setting up utilities before arrival. A&E Relocation Services provides an in-home or virtual walkthrough before your move, so your estimate reflects exactly what needs to be packed, protected, and transported.

The biggest warning signs usually show up before you even sign anything. Forbes Home cites a quote that is far lower than every other estimate and notes that there was no written contract before a deposit. AARP flags companies that frequently change names, lack a verifiable address, or won’t put their liability for damage in writing. A&E Relocation Services is fully licensed and insured, with a verifiable local presence and upfront written estimates, so you know exactly what to expect before move day.

Yes. There are several moving companies in Olympia that offer senior moving services. AARP describes “senior move managers” as specialists distinct from movers themselves, helping with downsizing, packing oversight, and logistics. AARP also warns of mover fraud targeting seniors, so verify a company’s physical location and be wary of unusually low quotes. A&E Relocation Services offers senior moving support with the patience and care an elderly move requires, so your grandparent’s transition is handled safely and respectfully from start to finish.

Yes, it’s commonplace for an Olympia Moving company to be fully insured to perform moving services for a customer. At A&E Relocation Services, your move includes valuation coverage, and additional protection options are available if you’d like extra peace of mind for high-value items.
