crafted with purpose
The district was born out of a Washington community vision for a handcrafted space for people, by people. Blending shopping, services, local arts and education, here you’ll find vibrant retail, dining, and events venues where friends and family can experience first-hand the collaborative, vibrant state of Pacific Northwest craft.
Rooted in Tumwater’s brewing history, Craft District blends a brewing and distilling educational experience with the region’s passion for all things crafted, from beer, wine and spirits to restaurants, boutiques and meetup and startup spaces.

WITH MODERN FLAVOR
“Wherever you go in the country and say you’re from Tumwater or Olympia, people will inevitably say, ‘Like the Beer, right?’. We still have brand equity around beer. How do we leverage that?” said John Doan, City of Tumwater City Manager, when reflecting on their involvement in the Craft District.
