"We crossed the river and went to Yelm prairie, a beautiful spot. I thought as it lay before us covered with tall waving grass, a pretty stream bordered with shrubs and tall trees, flowing through it, and the majestic mountain standing guard over all, in its snowy coat, it was a scene fit for an artist." - American settler James Longmire.
The City of Yelm is part of Thurston County and is located on the western side of the state of Washington. It has a total area of 5.69 square miles, of which 5.68 square miles is land area and 0.01 is water area -- so you won't spend a ton of time seaside here. There has been a significant increase of 108 percent in population since the year 2000 -- from only 3,200 residents, Yelm now has more than 6,800 people calling it home sweet home. This rapid increase is due to its location, which is near highly commercialized neighboring cities such as Olympia. Because of this growth, it currently has a higher-than-average population density of more than 1,200 people per square mile. This is only common for booming cities such as Yelm, which truly lives up to its nickname, the "Pride of the Prairie." View Yelm City Guide
