Just looking around the area and trying to find a good place to live with my family. Descent pricing and no more than an hour away any info would be much appreciated!

When I lived there the best place was across the street from Pierce Collage in Steilacoom, WA. It is just outside the back gate to North fort.
Stay away from Tacoma as it is in the takeoff lane of the AF Base. You will hear jets all day and night.
Steilacoom is just off the Puget sound, it is a small quant town good school district
It was on 92nd st SW just off of Farwest RD.
Beautiful little apt complex small 4 units, 4 apts each

Puyallup is the popular place, Lacey is nicer, but small. I recommend living on post unless you want to fight I-5 every day

I-5 is no joke going north and south bound....itll take you way more than an hour to get home.

I lived in Lacey when I was stationed there. I think traffic-wise it was not as bad as living north of post. If on-post is not an option you want, I agree with Lacey and Dupont as good candidates.

I live out in puyallup and take all back road so avoids the I5 Rush. I enjoy the area.

If you want a quiet less populated place try Yelm. Lacey is nice and growing quickly those are my two faverates everwhere else is too crowded for me.
