A single piece of glass in the Senate chamber once stopped a bullet—yet whispers of power plays echo louder still in Olympia’s heart.

This self-guided audio tour pulls back the marble curtain of downtown, uncovering the restless struggles and scandals that shaped Washington’s leadership. Wander where governors risked everything and secret deals changed the course of history right beneath grand domes and manicured lawns.

Who plotted a rebellion behind the House’s iconic façade? What mysterious item went missing from the Governor’s Mansion during a storm-shrouded night? And what forgotten protocol once sparked a tense standoff on the Senate floor over a single vote?

Stride through majestic halls and tree-lined paths as each chapter unfolds with political intrigue, hushed mysteries, and moments of courage. See familiar pillars in a new light, tracing footsteps of ambition and dissent.

The secrets of Olympia await. Press play and let the city reveal itself.
