Station 5 – Garfield Elementary School
WELCOME TO GARFIELD!

Did You Know?
Garfield Elementary was the very first school built on the westside! Originally build in 1884 and called the Westside School, the Olympia School District renamed the school after 20th U.S. President James A. Garfield in 1902. Garfield Elementary School has been housed in several different buildings over the years – the big stone arch that sits at the entrance to the school is taken from the last building that was torn down in 1989!
