Your Olympia, WA mortgage, done right.

Conventional, FHA, and first-time-buyer paths for Olympia — clear guidance from pre-approval through closing.

The Olympia market

Olympia home loans, the honest version.

Olympia is Washington’s state capital, anchoring Thurston County with state government, The Evergreen State College, and Providence St. Peter Hospital — three recession-resistant employers providing structural demand insulation uncommon in similarly sized Pacific Northwest cities; 60 miles south of Seattle, it attracts remote workers and state employees priced out of King County.

That market shapes the loan. In Thurston County, the 2026 one-unit conforming limit is the national baseline of $832,750. Most Olympia purchases sit comfortably under that $832,750 line, which keeps conventional, FHA, and FHA options on the table. Limits per FHFA 2026; verify your scenario with us.
