The Centennial Station (also known as Olympia–Lacey) is a train station located immediately south of Lacey, Washington, United States, that also serves the capital city of Olympia. The station is served by Amtrak's (the National Railroad Passenger Corporation) Cascades and Coast Starlight.

Local transit connections are provided by Intercity Transit, which operates two routes with connections to transit hubs in Olympia, Lacey, and Yelm.[4] The agency also assumes some operating and maintenance duties at the station, which is otherwise staffed by volunteers.[5] Funding is provided by Amtrak and seven local jurisdictions, including Thurston County, Intercity Transit, the Port of Olympia, and nearby city governments.[6]
