It is important to get help from both Joint-Base Lewis McChord Housing Services and from trusted, local real estate agents, realtors, or teams with experience in finding excellent housing solutions for active members of the military. Excellent choices include Lakewood, Olympia, DuPont, Puyallup, Tacoma, Yelm, South hill, Graham and Sumner. Many service members enjoy the convenience of and community of JBLM's hometown of Lakewood so much that they choose to retire there.
