Overview of DeTray‘s Colonial Inn Retirement Apartments

DeTray’s Colonial Inn Retirement Apartments has offered independent living in Olympia, Washington, since opening in 1998. The community centers on private apartments paired with shared amenities instead of hands-on personal care, catering to seniors who manage daily tasks on their own but value a supportive environment.

Living options span studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. Studios combine living and sleeping areas in a single room, whereas two-bedroom apartments comfortably accommodate couples or roommates. New residents are also welcome to bring pets along when they move in.

A walk score of 32 means the surrounding neighborhood requires a vehicle for most errands. Scheduled transportation services, wheelchair-accessible features, and third-party home health care help maintain independence for those needing extra mobility or medical assistance. Residents can access the nearby Chehalis Western Trail for outdoor recreation, or stay engaged through daily, weekly, and monthly organized activities.

Families can reach out to the community to request additional information or set up a tour to view the facility.
