Greater Seattle living
#21
Back to the OP's question: If you're a single guy or gal and don't mind having a roommate, or a tiny apartment, I would check out West Seattle. Easy and fast to the employee lot and lots of good restaurants and bars. If you need to find somewhere that suitable for a family, Gig Harbor is a good spot. There are also a decent amount of pilots who live on Bainbridge Island, but that could get tricky on reserve. Also, places south and east of seatac seem to be up and coming: Renton, Kent, Auburn, Maple Valley and eventually you'll end up at the other pilot ghetto...Lake Tapps. Good luck.

Way more house for the money, great school districts ... reserve will only last so long ..., unless you need the big city environment?
Then I would look at Kent or Tacoma, ... both being gentrified as we speak, ... Good Luck and take care.

Without additional qualifiers and looking to the future after reserve, I would recommend looking South of Olympia, ... Little Rock, Tenino, Chehalis , Centralia, even Napavine, or slightly east.

Maybe he plans on living and being based in SEA but can’t hold it yet. LAX is a Jr. base. Lots of new hires are going there with the intention of coming up to SEA. I commuted to a few of our other bases before being able to hold SEA. I’d recommend getting outside of King County. Lower taxes, housing costs and overall cost of living. That generally puts you about 45 mins to an hour away from the airport (no traffic).
