Shaker Church balances rural calm with quick access to everything the southern Puget Sound offers. Tucked on the western side of Thurston County, it sits minutes from the state capital’s arts, dining, and waterfront at Olympia, with everyday conveniences also close in Tumwater and Lacey. Locals prize the evergreen-covered hills, quiet lanes, and saltwater views of Eld Inlet and Mud Bay, along with trail time at nearby coastal parks and the forested campus of The Evergreen State College, whose galleries, performances, and public trails bring year-round enrichment for residents. Explore campus happenings and outdoor access via The Evergreen State College’s official site.
Families appreciate strong public school options, with many students served by the Olympia School District; its programs, career pathways, and activities are detailed on the Olympia School District website. The area is also well connected for commuters: Intercity Transit links westside neighborhoods with downtown, state offices, and key park-and-ride hubs, making it easy to leave the car at home. For book lovers and learners, the Timberland Regional Library system provides programming for all ages, digital resources, and community events.
