Common Emergencies in Olympia

Olympia is Washington's capital, located at the southernmost tip of Puget Sound at the confluence of the Deschutes River and Capitol Lake. The Deschutes River floods periodically during heavy rain events and is the source of Capitol Lake's water quality issues. Olympia receives 51 inches of rain annually — among the highest in the Puget Sound region — with essentially no dry summer months. State government buildings and the capitol campus have well-maintained infrastructure, but surrounding residential areas (especially east and south Olympia) have aging housing stock with crawl space moisture and aging plumbing concerns.

  • Deschutes River and Capitol Lake flooding during heavy rain events
  • Crawl space moisture in Thurston County clay soils
  • Wet season sustained building envelope failure
  • Roof aging from moss growth in high-rainfall environment
  • Aging plumbing in 1950s–1970s government-town housing stock
