Settlers moved north after Olympia was established for the following reasons:

  1. To seek land untouched by people - Many settlers were looking for areas that were less populated and had more natural resources.

  2. To find land for agriculture and timber - The availability of fertile land for farming and timber for building was a significant draw for settlers.

  3. To find better locations for trade - As the region developed, settlers sought out strategic locations that could enhance trade opportunities.

These options reflect common motivations for westward expansion during that time period.
