      I still plan to move to WA in a year or 2. Not sure where yet though, thinking Port Orchard, or Graham or Aberdeen. Any opinions?

      It depends. Where will the job site be? Do you prefer cities or small towns? Military neighbors or college kids? Do you want to pay toll charges every time you leave town? (Port Orchard). Graham and Aberdeen are pretty far away from the big city but that's not always a bad thing.

      My other terminal is in the Tacoma Port. With medium traffic from Graham to my terminal in the port it's only about a 30 minute drive if you take 161 Meridian the whole way. Port Orchard is about a 30 minute drive as well. Gig Harbor is really close too, but houses are expensive there. Something to consider though.

      Just wait until they start using gallons/ 100 miles in the States . I predict you'll welcome that with open arms!

      I'll try.

      Being in the US I'm unaware - is Canada now using liters or imperial gallons, or what?

      .
      that will go over about as well as the metric system.

      Officially Canada uses L / 100 km.

      Automotive media often still report mpg in imperial gallons though, which is what was used before going metric.

      Only a handful of countries don't use the metric system... That's how "well it goes over".
