Vallejo is commute-to-SF, although fairly extreme, and pretty horrible for commute-to-Peninsula.
In my experience, there isn't a whole lot in town itself; it's gone through a period of bankruptcy and sketciness, although not as dangerous as some other towns like Richmond, CA.
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoTaken like that, Olympia could be a bedroom community for....Tacoma. Not sure about tech jobs there, though. There are state government jobs in Olympia, so if you are a lawyer...
- will_work4tears 12y agoThere are a bunch of State Tech jobs too, not just for lawyers. They don't pay nearly as much as Seattle jobs. Tacoma doesn't either for that matter, and Tacoma doesn't even have the Government thing going for them (just the base). There is some "trickle" effect for tech jobs slowly making their way south (I see regular postings for Tukwilla, Renton and even Federal Way development jobs), and some in Tacoma, but my experience is they tend to hold onto that 50-60+ hours a week work ethic, but only pay 35-45k. No thanks.
