Does anyone know what all the construction is about? What are they adding/subtracting (?) from the well site? Thanks!

Also, there’s some cool artwork on the side of the building next to the spring – probably only visible from the street if you’re heading East on 4th.

We had a little difficulty finding this with the directions above. Thankfully we were persistent! The spring is in the middle of the parking lot between 4th and 5th streets West of Jefferson. You might not see it from the street, depending on which way you’re coming. We parked on the street on Jefferson between 4th and 5th and then walked into the middle of the parking lot. The yellow painted concrete benches are a good clue that you’re close. The spring was very mineral-rich and delicious!

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The City of Olympia purchased the Diamond Parking Lot and will be having their city parking there…. we now have 3 designated parking spots for Well users and an upgraded facility is in the planning stages.

I work with H2Olympia.org the Artesian Well Advocates for Olympia.... good news is, the city is buying the property, the government is on-board to create a nicer facility for artesian water users.

Would love to see a group of people get together to buy this property if it is still for sale and erect a proper hexagonal springhouse on it. I'd do it myself if I could!
