Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), located in Washington state about an hour south of Seattle, will give you access to outdoor activities like boating, hunting, fishing, hiking, as well as expose you to a great deal of culture.
Two popular places to live near JBLM are Tacoma and Olympia. The two cities are very comparable in cost of living, things to do, and proximity to base, but today we're going to focus on Olympia and several beautiful homes available in the area.
You already know that Olympia is the capital of Washington--but don’t be fooled, the city isn’t all government. As you walk around the city, you’ll get to witness its vibrant culture. With access to incredible seafood dining, farmer’s markets, parks, and the Hands-On Children’s Museum, you’ll find that life in Olympia is rather fulfilling. The best part is, on a clear day, you might even get to see Mt. Rainier on your morning walk.
