Lacey, 5 miles away, has much the same number of days a year at 90°F or more (7).

Living rooms on winter evenings
77 nights a year fall at or below freezing. Closing the shutters after dark puts a layer of still air between the room and the cold glass; open them again in the morning so the window dries out.
Bathrooms and laundry rooms
In a place with 59.1 inches of precipitation a year, damp rooms stay damp longer. Wood shutters suit a bathroom with a fan, kept out of shower spray; run the fan so steam doesn't sit behind closed louvers.
Early light in June
Around the longest day the sun is up for 15 h 54 min here, so east-facing bedrooms get light very early. Full-height panels with the louvers closed keep most of it out; a mounting frame closes the gaps around the edges.
Room by room in Olympia
The median home in Olympia has 5.1 rooms, and the most common has 3 bedrooms. Most owners start with the bedrooms, then the rooms that face the street. In Lacey, 5 miles away, the figure is 5.4 rooms.
26% of workers here worked from home in the 2020–2024 survey years, more than in 88% of the 881 US cities we have figures for. A home office is often the next room shuttered. In Lacey, 5 miles away, 17% worked from home, fewer than here.
