Step into a piece of Olympia history at The Elks Apartments, a beautifully restored landmark in the heart of downtown Olympia. Originally built in 1919 as the home of Elks Lodge No. 186, this iconic building was designed by renowned Olympia architect Joseph Wohleb during the height of his influential career. Established shortly after Washington achieved statehood, the Elks organization played an important role in Olympia's early civic and social life, and the building remains a striking reminder of that era with its classic architecture and original "BPO Elks 186" inscription proudly displayed along the roofline.
Today, The Elks Apartments thoughtfully blend historic charm with modern convenience, offering one of downtown Olympia's most distinctive apartment living experiences. Behind its historic facade, residents enjoy practical, comfortable living spaces filled with character and unique architectural details that make each apartment feel special.
The community features secured entry, elevator access, onsite management and maintenance, shared laundry facilities, and a dedicated mailbox room for added convenience. We're also pet-friendly, because home should include every member of your household.
Located in the center of downtown Olympia, The Elks places you steps away from local dining, shopping, entertainment, and the vibrant energy of the city while offering the charm and atmosphere of a truly historic building.
Whether you're drawn to the rich history, downtown lifestyle, or unique character, The Elks Apartments offer a rare opportunity to live in one of Olympia's most recognizable landmarks.
