I posted a couple months ago asking about housing options in SEA. I appreciate all the helpful advice, but I'm starting to abandon the idea of living in base because of the -insane- housing market there.

I know commuting will open an entirely different can of worms for me, but I'm looking very hard at Spokane, with ~10 daily flights seems more commuter friendly than just about anywhere. (Anywhere that has relatively affordable real estate anyway.)

Also toying with the idea of just switching from the jet to the Q, and hopefully getting based out of GEG at some point.

If I stay on the jet, are there any other GEG-SEA commuters out there who could let me know what I might be in for? Especially while on reserve. Is a crash pad the norm?

Thanks again.
