The Olympia Report is your source for objective, non-partisan news about Washington state government. We strive to provide timely, accurate information about what’s happening in state (and sometimes local) government, and how it could impact you as a citizen and taxpayer.We look for stories that no one else is reporting, and ask the tough questions to find out what’s actually happening. We believe government should be accountable to the citizens it serves, and that accountability is only possible if citizens know what their government is doing.

When we say, “The Olympia Report is your source” for news, we really mean it! Don’t be shy. Use our stuff! We provide our non-partisan, non-biased, un-opinionated news and information about government actions and proposals for use by the general public, elected officials and the news media.

As part of our mission to supply robust, far reaching coverage of state house and government news, we encourage all Washington news broadcasters, media organizations & citizen journalists to “steal our stuff.”  Use our journalism in your publications, broadcasts, postings, tweets, etc. We do ask that you are mindful of giving credit when credit is due.  We also ask that you let us know if you are a regular user of our content and that you provide feedback on our work so we can continually improve to make our news products better for our direct and indirect users.

The Olympia Report is a service of the Freedom Foundation, a non-partisan, non-profit education and policy organization located in Olympia, Washington. More information about the Foundation can be viewed at myfreedomfoundation.com.
