Olympia is in the Rockies, between the Montana/Wyoming/Idaho area. I'll quote from the e-mail where I asked Seuzz about it:

Olympia itself sits very high in the Rocky Mountains, on a plateau whose horizon is ringed all about by the peaks of distant mountains. The climate is semi-arid but cold, for Olympia is located somewhere in the Montana/Wyoming/Idaho area. The temperatures in
the winter will tend to be bitter and the wind cuts hard and sharp, but the sun will shine brightly even as it fails to warm. Snow is rare, and quickly desiccates into icy crystals that are like glass shards.


It's better to use a charter plane to reach Olympia from SF than trying on the road, but you can certainly use the Interstate for it. A trip from Columbus to Denver takes about 18 hours via car, which including pit stops and sleep time is roughly 2 days. (Maybe 3 if you wanna do sightseeing.) The Appalachians are on the opposite direction - closer to New York than to Colorado or the western side of the Midwest. As far as I know, one of the traits of the Midwest is that it's pretty much all valleys and lakes - you'd need to go to the boundaries of the Midwest to find mountain ranges like the Appalachians, or resort to solitary mountains or hills. There's an argument for Minnesota which has a couple peaks, but if looking for a mountain range, it's either the Rockies or the Appalachians.
