The Washington State Senate is the upper house of the Washington State Legislature. The body consists of 49 members, each representing a district with a population of nearly 160,000. The State Senate meets at the Legislative Building in Olympia. As with the lower House of Representatives, state senators serve without term limits, though senators serve four-year terms. Senators are elected from the same legislative districts as House members, with each district electing one senator and two representatives. Terms are staggered so that half the Senate is up for reelection every two years. Like other upper houses of state and territorial legislatures and the federal U.S. Senate, the state senate can confirm or reject gubernatorial appointments to the state cabinet, commissions and boards.

The Washington State Capitol (or "Legislative Building") in Olympia is the home of the government of the State of Washington.

The Washington State Capitol Conservatory was a greenhouse on the grounds of the Washington State Capitol in Olympia, Washington. It was funded $25,000 in 1938, designed by architect Joseph Wohleb, and built in 1939 as a Works Project Administration project. In the 1990s it was noted the greenhouse was suffering foundation damage from soil settling of up to 65-foot (20 m) deep fill on which it was built. A 1995 report indicated that there was fear of a landslide causing catastrophe to the building, built next to a steep ravine where "a number of springs and wet areas were observed" (Olympia is noted for both its rainy climate and its artesian springs). Heritage Park's hillside trail climbs from Capitol Lake to a landing containing the Law Enforcement Memorial, adjacent to the conservatory. Due to safety concerns stemming from the settling, the conservatory was closed in 2008 and the building was demolished between 2020 and 2021. For a time it was used to store the Chief Shelton Story Pole (totem pole) after it was taken down in 2010. Until its closure it was open to the public and was an attraction for visitors to the State Capitol.

The Du Pen Fountain is a water fountain at the former Washington State Library building on the Washington State Capitol campus in Olympia, Washington, in the United States. The sculptor, Everett Du Pen (1912–2005), was well known in the Northwest, and chairman of the Sculpture Department at the University of Washington when he was commissioned for the piece in 1955. The fountain is made of 900 pounds (410 kg) of copper-enriched bronze, green terrazzo, and cement. An element of the fountain is a pair of salmon spitting water. The fountain, along with the nearby and much larger Tivoli Fountain replica, is shut down by the state property administration agency during summer droughts. The artist also created the Fountain of Creation at the Seattle Center for the 1962 World's Fair. The Seattle fountain is also nicknamed Du Pen (or DuPen) Fountain.

Olympia is the capital of the U.S. state of Washington and the county seat and most populous city of Thurston County. It is 60 miles (100 km) southwest of the state's most populous city, Seattle, and is a cultural center of the southern Puget Sound region. The Squaxin and other Coast Salish peoples inhabited the southern Puget Sound region prior to the arrival of European and American settlers in the 19th century. The Treaty of Medicine Creek was signed in 1854 and followed by the Treaty of Olympia in 1856; these two treaties forced the Squaxin to relocate to an Indian reservation. Olympia was incorporated as a town on January 28, 1859, and as a city in 1882. It had a population of 55,605 at the time of the 2020 census, making it the state of Washington's 23rd most populous city. Olympia borders Lacey to the east and Tumwater to the south.
