Since 1972, residents from Thurston County and beyond have had access to full-service musculoskeletal care thanks to Olympia Orthopaedic Associates (OlyOrtho). Over the intervening 50+ years, OlyOrtho has added providers, locations and services to tackle pain, mobility and quality of life issues caused by aging, accidents, illness or injury. In August 2026, they’re proud to open a new Hawks Prairie Clinic. This conveniently brings a wide array of diagnostic and treatment options to Thurston County’s northern reaches, saving families time and gas money on their journey back to full health.

The new Hawks Prairie site is located at 7700 Britton Parkway NE in Lacey, less than 10 minutes from the bustling Lacey Costco. It is open from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and will be home to five of OlyOrtho’s hardworking medical provider teams.

Staff moving to this site will include Dr. Bradley Christ and Caitlin Rabey, ARNP; Dr. Adam Graver and Chris Spikes, PA-C; Dr. Douglas Hunter; Dr. Peter Park and Phillip Bounkeau, PA-C; and Dr. Douglas Taylor and Scott Adams, PA-C.

There will also be two additional MRI scanners and same-day surgical procedure options for improved patient access and care.

New Address, Same Great Services at OlyOrtho’s Hawks Prairie Location

OlyOrtho’s CEO Ben Shah says that the new site began carrying out its first MRIs on August 3, 2026, with the full clinic ramping up to open by the end of the month. Surgery center procedures are scheduled to begin in late autumn, as logistics and staffing are finalized. Shah explains that the Hawks Prairie location will provide clinical, surgical, procedural and diagnostic services similar to their Westside Olympia location near Capital Mall.

“Lacey is a growing area and the location of the new building is in the heart of the Hawks Prairie expansion,” says Shah. “Providing additional options for our patients helps those from all directions find a location that is easy to access and that is close to other services our patients may want. For staff, the access to great food within walking distance is very exciting.”

The physicians moving to this location will make it their home base, so to speak. This, says Shah, makes it easier for patients to maintain continuity of care overall. Staff are currently scheduling for available MRI timeslots and full scheduling will open up as they continue adding services to that branch. “Olympia Orthopaedic Associates is happy to be expanding access to great care to the larger community,” says Shah. “We’re looking forward to welcoming our patients at our newest location very soon!”
