Olympia–Lacey Centennial Station

Olympia–Lacey Centennial Station is a passenger rail station located in Lacey, Washington, serving both the city of Lacey and the nearby state capital, Olympia. The current station building opened in 1993 and was built largely through community donations, volunteer labor, and local support. Uniquely, the station is staffed entirely by trained community volunteers who assist passengers for every arriving and departing train. The station features a classic wooden design, free parking, wheelchair accessibility, and local bus connections via Intercity Transit. Today, it is one of the busiest rail stations in Washington State and remains a proud example of community-driven transportation infrastructure.

The webcam looks directly at the platform and busy rail lines. The station sits at milepost 32.2 on the BNSF Seattle Subdivision, a key rail corridor in the Pacific Northwest.

Union Pacific freight trains also pass through on trackage rights between Portland, Oregon and Tacoma, Washington. In addition, Amtrak operates 14 daily passenger trains here, including the sleek Cascades sets and the famous Coast Starlight long-distance service.
