Aspenhollow Business Capital, based in Olympia, WA, takes business funding requests by phone and online from across Thurston County and nearby parts of Pierce County, Mason County, Lewis County and Grays Harbor County. Six nearby towns have their own pages with ZIP-level business counts; this page summarizes them and other towns.
One business, many towns
Aspenhollow Business Capital works by phone and online, so a business in Yelm or Shelton is handled the same way as one in downtown Olympia, WA. Business counts below come from the U.S. Census Bureau's ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023, and each figure keeps its ZIP label, because a ZIP often covers far more ground than the town it is named for. Olympia, WA figures are on the Olympia, WA page.
