The best place to commute is where you can get a line fastest. Coming out of the military I did not understand how much better a bad commute to a line is, than a good commute to reserve (unless you've got other factors such as family, friends, or mistress in reserve city). You'll get a line faster in NYC than anywhere else. Fortunately even if you don't get NYC out of class there are always openings in the next AE.

I moved here this year, tons of great places to live within 2 hours of SEATAC, some sticker shock on the houses. Concur on the decision to not commute, you gotta have a big reason to put yourself thru that.
Just note, position says 767A and he said sticker shock.

Olympia, Issaquah all seem good. Everything downtown and northeast of town seemed crowded and expensive. Tacoma has some cool areas.
I am a new hire and O5 retiree and determined I could not afford Gig Harbor yet. If you have family, be careful in Olympia and Issaquah since schools are hit or miss. As I recall, all the Tacoma schools were somewhere from bad to terrible.

I'm guessing ATL, but am looking for input.
Very tough commute anywhere. Lots of options offline but then you aren't in compliance with the company's unable to commute policy. I would wither under the stress of commuting from DFW while on probation.
