Southwest Washington is a geographical area of the U.S. state of Washington, encompassing roughly half of Western Washington.[a] It generally includes the Olympia area southwards to the Oregon-Washington state line at Vancouver. Olympia, the state capital, has been a transshipment center for Southwest Washington since its settlement in the mid-19th century.[5]
