Olympia Downtown Historic District, Historic district in downtown Olympia, United States.

Olympia Downtown Historic District covers 17 blocks of Washington's capital and holds 51 contributing properties, listed on the National Register since 2004. Most buildings went up between 1911 and 1930, and several were designed by local architect Joseph Wohleb. Earthquakes in 1949, 1965 and 2001 damaged structures in the district.

Most buildings were constructed between 1911 and 1930 during a period of rapid expansion following Washington's admission to statehood. This building boom shaped the district's character and established the architectural foundation visible today.

Sylvester Park, also called Town Square, sits within the district and is listed separately on the National Register along with six other properties. The Old Capitol Building, Hotel Olympian and Capitol Theater stand within one or two blocks of the park, so civic buildings and storefronts share the same few streets.

The district is easily walkable with wide sidewalks that allow visitors to explore buildings and storefronts at a comfortable pace. Streets are well-maintained and easy to navigate between different sections of the area.

Seven buildings in the district are individually listed on the National Register, including the historic Capitol Building and Sylvester Park. These selected structures were recognized for their exceptional architectural or historical importance.
