He's E5 so off base is the best choice to get BAH. He's looking at apt's and houses, and is open to renting a room or having a room mate.
That's nice of you to ask. I'll look forward to hearing what you find out. House hunting will be easier when his vehicle arrives. After rereading your post I realize it's a farmers market, not a house with a farm. I keep thinking wide open spaces and mountains. That's another novelty to us flatlanders. Your son must have really liked the area to buy a house there instead of back home, or is that where he met his wife?

Is he trying to find an apartment or house? So he doesn't want to live on-base? I'll ask my son if he has any ideas as to locations. Not sure how soon I'll get a reply, but I will e-mail him.

We've only been to Vancover after a cruise. If Everett is anything like that, it is BEAUTIFUL! I hope we can get out there soon, but we are waiting for him to get his place off base. He doesn't want Mama's help with anything, so even though it's tough being the new guy, I have to back off and let him do it all. I am totally having a hard time with it (you know, doesn't know anyone or the area). He's always been independent, and he has a good head on his shoulders. So I try to think good thoughts and wait...what Navy mom doesn't?!

He will find winter interesting. Since my son has been there, there has only been one or two big snowfalls and they were gone pretty quick. But you can go to the mountains for snow. It's pretty temperate for what I have seen! Have you or when are you going out?

Thanks for the reply. He is coming from Hawaii, but he grew up in Florida. The farm sounds wonderful. I know your daughter will have a great time. We laughed because it was a warm 75% this weekend and the locals were saying how muggy it was. That's a cool day to us! We can't help but wonder what will the winter be like?! He's prepared for it because when he was deployed on the frigate he was on last year, they spent a lot of time in Japan. He said snow on the sea is different from what we here at home are used to.

Hi My son has been on the ship about a year and a half and is leaving it soon but will still be on another ship out of Everett. I have been out there twice. Everett seems like a nice town. With traffic it seems like it is about an hour from Seattle. I did not get to see the base while I was there. My son and his wife bought a house in Everett. They have a nice farm market on the weekends and just driving around town you see mountains and water all over which is unique from where we live. It is a beautiful area with so much to see and do especially if your son likes the outdoors. My daughter is flying out next month to visit her brother and do some hiking. Hope your son likes it there - where is he coming from? Hope you get out to see the area and visit him!

He is on the ship now. They have been hospitable. That makes me feel better. I am so curious to know what the base and the area is like. Any insight?

Hello all, I see there isn't a lot of activity in this group, which will probably match my internet use. I hope to meet some of you and head out west just as quick as I can. We are looking forward to visiting the area. Our sailor will be joining the ship this weekend. Does anyone have the omsbudman info? Is there a local group that I should sign into that might be able to fill me in on the west coast local flare? Thanks, I hope to hear from some of you soon.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I mailed it a couple of days ago, so I'll let ya know if it gets through.

Debbie B. , We have had US Mail sent back I don't know why? and from what our son said the people in charge of the mail don't care. We have had our best luck sending packages VIA UPS. also our son and a fellow sailor have gotten their own PO Box. also they have gone thru at least one of his packages.
