Spring flows freely from a pipe set-up in the middle of a city parking lot. Seems grim but it’s actually kind of cool. Check out the photos.
The person who took us says the water from this spot was tested and found to be one million years old. Wow. It tastes minerally to me, and was sooo good. Here is an excerpt from the Olympia wikipedia entry: The Jefferson Street Well: The current publicly accessible well, on the corner of Jefferson and State streets, is made available due to an agreement made the Thurston County PUD, the City of Olympia, and the property owner, Diamond Parking. This agreement states that the PUD will test the well to make sure that it meets drinking water guidelines. The City of Olympia pays for the testing. This agreement is considered a temporary solution to the access issue as the property is for sale.[3] Prior to current testing agreement, the testing was paid for by Friends of Artesians. Friends of Artesians also sought a permanent solution to the well issue, but was unable to achieve that goal. They disbanded and wrote an open letter to the City Council and the Mayor which was published in a local newspaper WORKS IN PROGRESS. [4] Friends of Artesians had also been providing the testing for the well in terms of human consumption. Their disbanding left the testing issue unresolved, which meant that public access might be denied. [5] A group of citizens formed a group called “It’s Still the Water” and advocated for public access during the process that resulted in current agreement. [6] Members of “It’s Still The Water” realized that they needed to form as a non-profit organization for the long-term goal of a permanent solution to the artesian well access. This group is now called H2Olympia: Artesian Well Advocates. [7]
THIS WATER IS NOT SAFE, DO NOT DRINK. After drinking this water for a month, I began to have neurological, circulatory and menstrual problems. The symptoms I was experiencing precisely mimicked the symptoms from spike protein contamination. It included changes/delays in menstrual blood and bleeding, headaches, pressure in my skull, involuntary twitching, cording and painful spots on the surface of my skull. The symptoms began to resolve within 24hrs when I stopped drinking this water.
In case you are not aware of how spike proteins from SARS-CoV-2 can get into the groundwater, here’s a primer: Billions of people have been injected with a substance that instructs their cellular machinery to manufacture the SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins BY THE BILLIONS. The premise is that the body will recognize this foreign threat and make antibodies to counteract this threat, thereby rendering the individual more resistant to exposure to the virus. Okay, perhaps mission accomplished, but then what happens to the pesky spike proteins? Well, your body is clearing them. We already know that It does this through your skin and bodily fluids, but it is also highly likely that you are also clearing them via urine and feces. And then, just like birth control, because these pesky proteins don’t break down right away, they end up circulating in the ecosystem, wreaking havoc elsewhere.
Spike proteins from both the jabs and viral infecton have been positively linked to myo/pericarditis(clotting of microvasculature), respiratory issues (clotting of microvasculature), strokes, reproductive cycle disruptions (mimicks syncytin in the body), etc. It is already known that they can cross the blood brain barrier, but an awful lot is still unknown.
The City of Olympia tests this water regularly for all sorts of contaminants, but not this. I am reaching out to them this week to alert them to the need to test for this in this water. I am guessing that the spike proteins are finding their way into the groundwater and then into the wellspring water.
I spoke with a water quality expert for the City of Olympia. They have NOT tested the water for spike proteins and will be looking to do that. However, high amounts of Manganese have been found in this water, which, in certain vulnerable individuals, can lead to neurological and hormonal disruptions. I will provide another update if and when I hear back about the spike protein test results.
Manganese Toxicity is difficult to reverse and some individuals such as myself who have had previous or have ongoing industrial exposure from activities such as welding may have more difficulty with this water than others. If spike proteins are the problem, I have learned that the spike proteins which the injections foster in the recipients’ bodies have been genetically amended from the configuration contained in the SARS-CoV-2 virus to a more ‘stabilized’ version involving the replacement of 2 amino acids with 2 proline amino acids (2P). What impacts this may have on the natural breakdown of such a manmade creation by the human body (or the natural environment) is unknown. [Ref. “Manganese Toxicity” by Garrett R. Evans and Lawrence N. Masullo, 2022 Jul 12 can be found on PubMed.]
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!
I’m not so sure about this spring. Locals told me to stay away but because putting spring water in my body is so important I kept filling up there. I am hesitant now and searching for another source because every time I go there somebody is using it as a shower. I wish the city of Olympia would provide showers for the homeless. I would also prefer that this spring have more security to keep it safe. Not good that people are washing themselves here.
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.
This is still open to the public. The city owns it now and there is some parking. In and out, it was very quick, but there were some street people around to stay aware of. Come during the day.
If you have not seen the spring before, it is way more spiffy looking now than the title to this post. It flows well and is GREAT water. Drive from Seattle to fill up the bottles.
I wish they’d enforce a NO SMOKING area near the well. There is usually some moron sucking on a cigarette right where you are standing to fill up your containers. Such rude A-holes some folks are.
I found the spring at 4th and Adams downtown Olympia. The area isn’t that big just drive around and you cannot miss it. The spring/well is always flowing and has be fixed up a good deal recently and is really nice. Many people filling up last weekend, but really no wait. Everyone is very cooperative. If someone is filling up like 30 big bottles they will take a break and let you fill your 2. Some of the very timid youth of Olympia like to “pose” as menacing retards and can be a little annoying. But they don’t hurt anything and the cops roll through a good deal. Was there on the weekend though, but guess is weekdays and school hours it is all business.
You’ve got a few things skewed in your description, and other things have changed. The spring is, indeed, in a parking lot in downtown Olympia, but it is between 4th and 5th Streets, not State, which is a block north of 4th. The parking lot is now owned by the City of Olympia. They have cleaned up the lot and made some improvements to the site in the last year. Apparently the city gave up the idea of closing the well, because so many people objected. The city also tests the well monthly, the last time I talked with a city employee about it.
just went by there last week and they are remodling everythig… putting benches and stands up… it is going to look very nice when it is done… they have been working on it for the past month. still can get the water when they are working on it, they just re-routee the water 😀
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 liked it the way it used to be. It had such a nice sound running on the rocks and it was easier to keep it off your shoes, and the dogs could drink without help. Why does everyone have to dress down nature? The water is great! Just don’t upset the powers that be because now that they ‘improved’ the site they can take control of the water within minutes if they want to.
Drinking pure spring water is one of the most important things we can do for our health. Our bodies are over 99% water at the molecular level, so water affects every aspect of our biology. Yet, not all water is created equal. Almost all the bottled spring water available is pasteurized for shelf stability, which neutralizes many of the powerful health benefits such as increased hydrogen, healthy probiotics, and crystalline structure. For more about why unprocessed spring water is the best water to drink, read this.
The best way to guarantee you are getting real unprocessed spring water is to collect it yourself. This is a short and simple guide filled with information about how to gather spring water. We will cover how to find a spring, how to collect the water, how to honor the spring, how to store the water properly and other tips.
FindASpring.org is the best resource for locating a spring near you. However, not all springs are on the map. First, check the map to see if there is a spring in your local area. If there is, look at the reviews and comments. Has anyone shared helpful information about flow rate or posted a water test result? Is the spring in a pristine area? Do a bit of research and make sure the spring is safe to drink from. If you have any doubt about the purity, don’t risk it and get a water test, HERE. If you don’t see a spring on the map in your area, there still might be some that aren’t listed yet. First, ask the older generation who have lived in your area a long time if they know. You can also ask people in your community who might already get spring water such as people at a health food store or at a farmers market. Another great option is to view A US forest service map, where many springs have been marked. You can view these maps through the Gaia GPS or All Trails hiking apps on your phone. The map overlay you want is USGS Topo. Not all are easily accessible or ideal for drinking, but some are and it can be a fun adventure to find them. We have found over half a dozen great springs this way.
Once you’ve found your spring, figure out how you are going to gather the water. Is it right on the side of the road and easy to access or do you have to hike to it? We recommend storing spring water in glass instead of plastic to preserve the purity of the water. It is better for the environment, your body, and the water. Even BPA free plastic has toxic chemicals that can leach into water and cause health issues. If you do want to use plastic for safety reasons when filling at the spring, we recommend transferring the water to glass as soon as possible. FindASpring is sponsored by Alive Waters, which offers beautiful reusable glass. They have a 2.5 gallon option, which is a convenient size for carrying that isn’t too heavy. They also sell handles that you can use to transport the jugs even more easily. If you have to hike to access the spring, we recommend putting the water jugs into an extra large backpack to hike the water out with ease. We use Osprey packs that hold 2 jugs each. You can also use a wheelbarrow or even a stroller depending on how easy a walk it is.

When you get to the spring, remember to first give back before you take. Springs are considered sacred in indigenous cultures around the world for their life giving water and also as a connection to the inner earth. A powerful and simple way to give back is to clean up. Is there any trash that needs to be collected? Could you move any dead leaves or sticks to improve the flow rate? Show up in service. Some other wonderful ways to give is with a moment of expressing verbal gratitude, singing songs to the water, offering the water an ethically sourced crystal, a feather, or some other physical gift. Flowers are a popular and beautiful thing to offer, but please be careful to source organic ones as most flowers from the store are sprayed with pesticides and can be toxic to put near a spring. Also, flowers can attract bugs as they decay, so it can be best to offer them to the flowing water directly or a little downstream from the spring head.
When gathering the water, fill the jug as close to the spring head as possible, never gather downstream. Be very careful as wet glass is extremely slippery. Make sure the lid is securely fastened. When transporting the spring water home, the jugs can sometimes slide around the car. Secure them in place or wrap them with towels or something so they don’t crash into each other.
How you store your spring water is essential. It is not pasteurized like spring water from the store, so it will start growing algae if left in direct sunlight. This is good because it means it’s alive! If the water you drink can’t even support the most basic life forms, how do you think it will support your body? Store your water in a cool, dark place such as a dark corner, pantry or closet. The fridge is ideal if you have room. Some people prefer to filter their water through a Berkey filter before drinking, but if the spring is pure, it’s not necessary. We drink our spring water completely unfiltered.
How long the water stays good for depends on how cold a temperature it’s stored at. Spring water is best fresh. We personally do not prefer to drink spring water past 2 weeks old. However, we know other people that will drink it at a month old. It’s great to get in a rhythm where you know how long the water lasts you and put your collection day on the calendar in advance.
I believe that water is calling us to reconnect with her in the deepest way, to gather our own water. Just like our ancestors did. Our ancestors didn’t have fancy water machines. They also didn’t create villages or settle where there was no water. Water was revered as the center of the community and the nodal point around which life could spiral out and take root.
Here’s to restoring the sacred connection with the waters of life.

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.

Sorry, it is a little tricky with all the one way streets – I don’t live there so I did the best I could with directions!
here is a fun doc to read:

This water is WONDERFUL!!! I drive almost 40 miles to fill my containers. I don’t drink any other water, nosiree 🙂
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.
