Olympia was chosen as the capital of Washington Territory in 1853 due to its strategic location and access to navigable waters, which facilitated trade and communication. The decision was also influenced by its central position within the territory, making it more accessible to residents from various regions. Additionally, Olympia was seen as a more suitable location for government functions compared to the rapidly growing Seattle, which was primarily focused on commerce. As a result, Olympia has remained the capital of Washington state since its statehood in 1889.
