  Are you working on the base or near the base?  Ft. Lewis is quite a bit south of Seattle and that would be a pretty hellish commute by car.  There is the Sounder train, however, that runs from downtown Tacoma up to Seattle on the weekdays.

  I know one reg on the board, MrsEditorJax, lives down that way.  She's always talking up the Indian restaurants down there.

  I live in Tacoma.  You might be happy looking at the North Tacoma/Old Town area (kind of this area of Tacoma: https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=tacoma,+wa&aq=&sll=37.09024,-112.5&sspn=36.042042,62.929688&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Tacoma,+Pierce,+Washington&ll=47.277191,-122.479362&spn=0.030164,0.061455&t=h&z=14 ). Welcome!

Welcome! 

  I was thinking of this neighborhood for you as well. Lots of old houses with character with shopping, parks, and museums nearby. Seattle would be WAY too far to commute to Ft. Lewis every day.

  Welcome! I moved here from Delaware a few months ago and can really feel your stress. Look forwarding to seeing you here on TB!

  Seattle to Lewis is way too far everyday! I would agree with the previous posters and say Old Town Tacoma is your best bet. It is a great area (try the Proctor area as well) with tons of cute shops and walking to parks. I grew up in NE Tacoma (more of a large housing development) but my best friend lived in Old Town and it was great being close to the water and to all of the parks. To get an idea of the area check out the movie 10 Things I Hate About You. The school is located close to Old Town and the house the girls live in is actually in Old Town (not Seattle like the movie says). You won't be too far from a mall (15 min) and the Old Town/Proctor area are close to the water, zoo, and some great shops. Good luck with your move!

  I live south of the Ft. Lewis area in Lacey. Sounds like you might enjoy the older neighborhoods of Olympia near the Capital. The commute would be the same or better then the Tacoma area everyone is suggesting. The school district is really good and there are tons of fun things to do downtown.
