Olympia became the capital of Washington Territory in 1853 due to its strategic location and accessibility via Puget Sound, which facilitated trade and communication. The selection was influenced by local leaders who advocated for a central location that would best serve the growing population in the region. In 1889, when Washington became a state, Olympia was retained as the state capital, further solidifying its political significance. Its status as the capital has continued to shape its development and identity over the years.
