Lacey Real Estate — Olympia's quieter twin. Lakes, the abbey, and Joint Base proximity.

About Lacey

Lacey grew around Saint Martin's University — a Benedictine institution founded in 1895 that anchored the area's identity for a century before incorporation in 1966. Today it's the largest city in Thurston County by some measures, with newer subdivisions, big-box retail, and a steadier pace than its capital-city neighbor next door. Joint Base Lewis-McChord is twenty minutes north.
