The county history of 1914 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 226 specimens collected within 10 miles of Olympia (historical) between 1907 and 1975: 219 Animalia, 5 Plantae, 2 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Bowles, P. (Pearl), Brubaker, J. A. & Higgins, Brubaker, J. A. & Link, B. and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

The federal mineral resources record lists 1 working within 5 miles of Olympia (historical): 1 past producer. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Limestone, General. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
