Serving Olympia, WA and all surrounding areas!
Olympia counts 26,795 homes in the Census Bureau’s 2020-2024 estimates, and renters hold 12,766 of the 25,451 occupied ones, a shade more than owners. Detached houses number 14,002, while 2,872 units sit in buildings of 50 or more. The 1970s added the most homes of any decade, 4,089, and many date from 1939 or earlier, so prewar houses and newer apartment blocks share the same streets. For an install, that mix means two first questions: who approves the mount, and what the roof is made of.
The signal comes down from satellites, so nothing has to be trenched or strung to your property. Plenty of Olympia households use Starlink as their main connection, and plenty keep cable or fiber and run Starlink as a second line. We leave only after a speed test confirms the connection. Olympia took its name in 1850 from its view of the Olympic Mountains to the northwest, and Starlink needs clear sky to the north, so our survey begins with the trees and rooflines on the north side of your lot.
Photos and an address are all a free virtual survey needs. We line them up with the satellite view, quote a price, and settle the mount and its spot before we put a visit on the calendar. If you would like someone to look in person first, an on-site survey is $199.
Prewar Bungalows to New Townhomes: How the Roof Chooses the Mount
Four of our five documented mounts fit Olympia houses, and the roof covering decides between them. Composition shingle over solid decking takes our pivot mount, the usual Starlink roof mount installation here, set just below the ridge on two splayed feet driven into rafters. A rotating disc between the feet stands the mast upright at any pitch, and sealant goes into each pilot hole, around the base and over every bolt head.
A gable with a fascia board can carry the standard wall mount: its flat angled blade is held by one bolt at the top and one at the bottom, and its plumb mast lifts the dish over the roofline. Where the eaves run deep or a gutter sits in the path, we bolt an under-eave arm to the wall beneath the soffit, long enough to clear the gutter. Owners who want the roof left undrilled can pick the ballasted mount, a frame held down by pavers or cinder-block caps that works on a flat roof or a pitched one. On metal, the panels stay intact because the dish moves to the wall or under the eave.
Half of Olympia Rents: A Mount Plan the Owner Can Sign Off On
Renter households edge out owner households in Olympia, 12,766 to 12,685, so many installs here begin with a landlord, property manager or association. Before any work starts, they get a written plan that shows the mount and its exact spot. A flat or low-slope roof takes a ballasted frame resting on the surface, with the weights tie-wired where wind can reach them, and a pitched roof keeps the street side clear with a side-wall or under-eave mount.
Tenants have some protection too. The FCC’s antenna rule covers antennas one meter or smaller on space a tenant uses exclusively, such as a private balcony or patio, and a Starlink panel is well under that size.
Wet Winters and Dry Summers: A Dish and a Wall Entry Built for Both
NOAA’s climate normals for 1991-2020 at the Olympia Airport station, about 5 miles south of the city’s center, average 50.6 inches of precipitation a year. December through February brings 20.7 inches of it, while June through August brings under 3 inches. The station also averages about 163 days a year with measurable precipitation and roughly 77 mornings that dip to 32°F or below. Starlink builds its kit to keep working through snow and ice, and the dish turns the power it draws into heat to melt snow and frost, so a winter install needs no extra hardware on the roof.
Rain is really a question about the cable, and our answer does not change with the season. The run dips into a drip loop on the outside wall, so water falls away before the entry. The hole itself is drilled from inside the house, kept low and close to an outlet, inside four feet of it, and closed with a flush, sealed grommet, and a white brush plate tidies the indoor end.
Capitol Neighbors, Downtown Shops and Port Tenants: Business Lines That Stay Up
Olympia became the capital of Washington Territory in 1853, and the Legislative Building, completed in 1928, rises 287 feet to the top of its lantern, making it the tallest building in North America with a masonry dome. Almost 30 blocks of the port peninsula and eastern downtown stand on the Carlyon Fill of 1910-11, built from more than two million cubic yards of dredged material. Our commercial installs cover offices, storefronts, restaurants, warehouses and job sites, timed around business hours so customers never find a locked door, and a company with branches in several towns works through one contact.
A shop that takes cards all day can keep its cable or fiber service and add Starlink as a standby on the second WAN input of a dual-WAN router. When the primary connection drops, the router shifts traffic to Starlink by itself, and our Starlink backup setup guide explains how it is wired.
On a flat commercial roof, the dish rides a steel frame loaded with ballast over a protective pad, and no fastener enters the roof. To share one account with a shop, a garage or a second building 100 feet to a mile away, a building-to-building wireless link does it without a second plan or a trench.
SUVs, Vans and Pickups That Run Interstate 5
Interstate 5 is the main highway through Olympia, heading south toward Portland and northeast toward Tacoma and Seattle. Pickups usually carry the panel on a bed rail or headache rack, clear of the cab roof and easy to reach. SUVs and vans get a low-profile roof mount anchored in the roof structure, placed away from vents, and the cable enters through a sealed grommet. Leased or no-drill vehicles carry the dish on a clamp that grips the rack or rails already there.
For a personal car or truck, the Mini is the usual pick, and Starlink allows in-motion use with it on a Roam plan. Each vehicle starts at $650, a third vehicle brings the unit price down, twelve or more unlock a bigger discount, and a whole group is fitted to one mount specification.
Swantown Marina and South Sound Moorage: Starlink on the Water
The Port of Olympia, the southernmost port on Puget Sound, runs Swantown Marina & Boatworks on the East Bay of Budd Inlet, with moorage, a fuel dock and boat repair. Our technicians come to the boat, whether it sits in a slip, in a yard or at a private dock. We fix the mount to hardware the boat already carries, whether that is an arch, a hardtop, a rail or the bimini frame, which keeps the hull and deck core intact, and the cable rides the boat’s existing wiring paths.
For larger vessels we fit the Starlink Performance kit, and smaller craft such as tenders and day boats usually take the Mini. Marine installs start at $750.
Campers and Fifth Wheels: Ready for the Next Trip
An RV install comes down to the campsite, the hardware on board and the best home for the router. A Mini carries its own Wi-Fi, which means a sunroof suction mount needs no separate router, and drawing 25 to 40 watts on average, it barely dents a house battery. A roof-mounted dish would have to push its Wi-Fi through the rig’s metal skin, so we place the router indoors, as we do with every Performance Gen 3 kit. Each RV visit includes the mount, cable and tools we bring along and a connection test at the end, starting at $650.
Starlink Installation Cost Around Olympia, From Bungalows to Boats
A house starts at $385 for professional Starlink installation. If your home needs more, such as a taller mast, extra cable length, mesh nodes or a link to an outbuilding, we price it from the survey and you approve it before we start. Rates for every job type are on our complete Starlink Installation price list.
