Hi! My husband and I came to Everett from Bremerton and We just found out we are expecting! Yes very exciting except being away from my family and the only place i lived my entire life in Southern CA and my husband is home and gone all the time I am having a hard time finding any friends since there's no housing on base and i feel very weak because this is all so new to me! I just need some girl talk! and someone to vent to once in a while!

What ship is your husband with? the Nimitz? I know they moved over there recently. (My husband was with the Lincoln we just moved from there) I would say find the FRG for your ship, get involved go to meetings. That will help a lot. look up facebook groups for wives from his ship or command, there are classes you can also do on base for free, maybe you can sign up and get there early and chat with some other wives there too. Also you can look into taking a COMPASS course. You should be able to google compass everett sign up and get the info for it. You will meet more wives there and get to know more about the Navy life and it gives you something to do for a little bit and they have free food ;) See if there is a group up here for spouses from that ship. Also I would suggest finding support sites on fb if you can and just asking if there are any women in the area or with your husbands command. :) Hope that helps a little bit! Everett is beyond rainy I can tell you that but there is TONS of stuff to do there! So many great places to go, and things to do!!! Also on base in the commons there is a place called IT office. Its by where the little eateries are. and you can get cheap and free tickets to things to do in the area. The zoo, Jim creek is a great place to go camping!! there are tons of little brochures you can pick up for things to do up there!

Hi!
We aren't there now, but our last duty station was there. My husband was on the Lincoln. Everett is a very "unique" base to say the least... I attended a briefing there once where they explained that it is the only base like it in the Navy, where they have tried to fully incorporate the military into the local community, wanting them to turn to them for many of the services and programs that the military normally would provide. (I have to admit, it wasn't very successful - especially in Marysville...)
I would encourage you to do like Meagan said though - take COMPASS (I know a couple of the COMPASS mentors there, and they're really awesome ladies!) even if you're an experienced spouse, COMPASS is great because it also teaches about local insights, and it's a good way to meet other spouses. Also, get involved in your FRG, etc. Go talk to the people at Fleet and Family, and see what sorts of things they have going on, there might be something you're interested in :-)
