Introduction
The Washington State Capitol in Olympia centers on a stately domed legislative building, its 87-metre masonry dome sheathed in copper — the tallest self-supporting masonry dome in the United States. Completed in 1928 after a 1907 fire, the campus blends Classical Revival symmetry with Pacific Northwest landscape. Free guided tours cross the marble halls, the legislative chambers and the rotunda. Set among manicured grounds with views toward Puget Sound, it is both a working government and a serene civic park.
