Ft. Lewis is our 4th duty station and 2nd experience living on post. Coming from Germany a few months ago, the weather here is very familiar. But we are thrilled with our on-post housing! It's in a brand new development and we are the very first people to occupy our home. We have an open floor plan with brand new appliances, a well placed mud room/laundry room, sky lights, garage, and lovely yard which my husband maintains. People around us seem to take pride in their homes. My kids attend an on-post school that they love and they have welcomed us with open arms. Shopping is close and convenient, as is medical care. We are just a short drive to on-post Madigan Hospital--the largest military health facility in the West. We are originally from the East Coast and didn't know what to expect, but Ft. Lewis has been overwhelmingly positive so far!
