Everett is a Naval port town along with industrial namely Boeing; I didn't spend any time up ther. Personally, I liked the southern end of the sound a lot more than the north. If you go up there, I would definitely rent and spend some time getting to know the area. I am not familiar with the traffic patterns any more, but the King County Seattle Metro was horrific when I lived there.
    As of right now I would potentially be working in Silverdale or in Everett. I've heard that the traffic is bad so I would live as close to my work as feasible. I hear mixed things about Bremerton, but I'd guess it's just like any other place that has a base near it. I'm wanting to get out of the defense industry and the job in Silverdale is a transfer of my current job and the job in Everett is a new career path for me so I'm just trying to get a feel for the pro's and con's of both.

    From what I remember, the areas surrounding Bremerten were really nice; I wouldn't mind living out there. If you lived near Everett without the commute, I wouldn't mind that either. The state (mainly King County) is pretty far left. There is a pretty strong firearms culture there; I can give you some contacts.
    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    That would be awesome. We are definitely moving there once I find a job. I spent some time in Oregon, so I've accustomed to some of their crazy ways.

    Aero Precision and SAA are right in Tacoma, a few blocks form each other. My son does lots of shopping there.
