Hi my name is Jessica and my husband Chris just got orders to be stationed at Ft Lewis in Feb. I was just curious, since we havent found a house yet, where are some good places to live near the post that are Chicken/duck friendly? We have 6 hens of various breeds, a Mandarin breeding pair and a white cheeked bahama pintail breeding pair.
Hi Jessica, welcome! How far from the base are you willing to commute? We have several people here that live in Tacoma. Puyallup and Bonney Lake are nice. Lakewood would probably work, but check their laws. Further south we have a member in Olympia. I think we have someone in Roy.
With the holidays upon us there are several people that are scarce right now.
Merry Christmas!
ETA: Oh my what the iPad did to the word Puyallup! fixed now!
I'm in Lacey, too- there are some places around here which are chicken-friendly, and Nisqually-Lacey is actually the closest housing market to the Fort Lewis Main Gate which is not in essentially hand-to-hand housing (like Ranger Row in Steilicoom).
Spanaway might work, although base access is not as convenient.
