Our Heritage
One hundred fifty years ago pioneers chose South Puget Sound to plant their dreams, partly because of the scenic land, pure water and abundant resources, but also because of their belief in equality for all members to claim land. It would have been an easier choice to stay in Oregon where a settlement was already under development, but more difficult to live with their decision. George Washington Bush, a mulatto, was in the Simmons' wagon train party and was well respected and liked. After equally enduring the hardships of travelling west to Oregon, he would have been denied the right to claim land as the others were entitled to do. The groups' respect for cultural diversity and unwillingness to accept nothing less than total equality set the tone for our multi-ethnic region.

Our Vision
Heritage Park is the final and crowning piece of the Capitol campus plan that architectural visionaries Walter Wilder and Harry White put forward in 1911. The park visually and physically ties the Capitol campus to Puget Sound by connecting the Capitol group of buildings to the Olympia waterfront with sweeping views and walkways. The Heritage Park design celebrates the history of the entire state, with planned landscape and physical features creating a "walk through Washington" - from the Western Washington Inlet to the Eastern Washington Butte.
