I have recently moved here from Subase NL CT and I was really excited.
The area is beautiful, there are soooo many trees and deer outside my front door, and even Bears. The weather is ok, it does rain, but not every day and it is never humid nor too cold. Being so close to Seattle is awesome too.
Drawbacks------ The housing people here are Nazis. I highly recommend renting in Bremerton or Silverdale. You have to get a chit done to hang up curtians, you can not garden, you can not throw out more than what is in your trash can or you are charged $3.00 per pound, you can not throw out old furniture and you can not wash your car and so on.....
The area is great, people in WA or so nice, and if you are a East Coast native like I am, you will see the difference. People don't speed, no one is in a rush, and everyone makes conversation with you, complete strangers.
I highly recommend duty here, but REALLY don't live on base.
