Bigelow Neighborhood, Historic district in east Olympia, United States.

The Bigelow Neighborhood, also called the Bigelow Historic District, runs along Olympia Avenue between East Bay Drive and Tullis Street on Olympia's east side. It holds the 1850s frame house of homesteader Daniel Bigelow at 918 Glass Avenue plus several other houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Daniel Bigelow claimed this area in 1851 with a 160-acre land grant and built one of Washington's earliest frame houses, which shaped the district's initial settlement. The structure remained significant throughout subsequent decades as the neighborhood expanded and developed around it.

The neighborhood displays decorated front porches on its homes that reflect how early settlers organized their living spaces and social gatherings. These architectural choices show the everyday values and community patterns of Olympia's founders and residents from that era.

The district runs along Olympia Avenue between East Bay Drive and Tullis Street, so a walk along that stretch passes most of the historic houses. The Bigelow House Museum at 918 Glass Avenue is the reference point for the neighborhood's history. Bigelow Park, on part of the original donation land claim, is nearby.

Bigelow Park, on part of Daniel Bigelow's original donation land claim, is among Olympia's oldest parks. The surrounding streets hold several houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the Bigelow House at 918 Glass Avenue was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
