Olympia WA port (#1458)

A theme of this trip was commercial ports, so I had to find out what I could see in Olympia, the state capital -- that's the capitol building in the distance. The city had a relatively good park along the waterfront, with documentation of the history of the port. Like very many of the ports in the Northwest, this was once a port for lumber exports but the volume of lumber exports has reduced tremendously and, in some instances, has been replaced by recreational boat marinas -- visible on the left here. The marina on the left side of the picture is apparently Westbay Marina, I don't know why so many of the boatslips are covered.
