Answer 1

If you don't get a hit from someone up there or that knows "100% for sure" call the first number at the link. I'm sure if they are not the right people they know who is!

Good Luck, don't rust!

I did a summer up there in 1987 (Civilain working a job in Seattle). Had a good time. I have family up there now, they have not rusted or been covered with mildew.

Found the link thru the Ft. Lewis web site.

If he is required to live on base, they will bump you ahead of the general waiting list.  There are some career fields and ranks that can require the active duty to live within a certain distance of the base and/or on base.  The best thing to do is contact the command your husband will be assigned to and then the housing office.  They can give you the answer specific to your situation.
