Like everyone else has mentioned commuting on us is pretty easy. ANC could be problematic in the summer. Also take into consideration once you get a line that you’ll possibly be able to hold lines that start and/or end in SEA (or BFI for us). In ONT they’re hit or miss but I’m usually starting or ending up there once a month. Same goes for PDX. I think SDF has some lines that start or end in GEG. Seems to be mostly turns in other bases.

Do your research and enjoy the process. There’s so much more than just the commute. Both places are good shops and has pros and cons.
