There are so many good burger places in CA, even in suburbs/small towns etc.

MooYaa burgers are as good as any burger you can make at home. Only went to the one in morgan hill, but they are all over CA (and there are many in other states as well) https://www.mooyah.com/locations

Inn and Out is fast food (unlike Mooyaa) with a drive in and it's all over the place in CA. I would, in general, rate their burgers over Carl's Jnr, and while they used to be expensive in comparison, that is no longer the case. Both cost about the same now.

Fuddruckers and Johhny Rockets are both all over the place in CA (there is a peggy sues I think it's called in a few places which is like Johnny rockets as well). They offer great burgers, milkshakes etc, but sadly I have not seen them outside CA.

Finally Shake Shack while biggest in NY and the east coast, has a decent number of shops in both the Bay Area and LA and is also extremely good.

Outside of the above, there are tons of good diners and individual burger places that are not chains, all over the place. In generally if you were to rate burgers in CA I would say most places are at least a 6/10 with many being 9-10/10.....and many chains being extremely high as well.

Meanwhile the best burger you can get in Olympia is from Five Guys or Red Robin generally, unless you luck out and find a better diner somewhere. I have not found anything even approaching a MooYaa burger in olypia/shelton/Seattle/Portland/Tacoma etc. I've found decent burgers mind you, but nothing I would rate over a 7, especially from any of the chains here.
