Hey Razzenof,
A pre-welcome to WA to you.
Are you an Army or Air Force type person? You should have fun with the Blacktail hunts in Western WA. If you're used to hunting from a tree stand in Kansas, you'll be in good shape for hunting here. Personally, I don't like the idea of hunting on base because they apparently control where you can hunt on any given day. I recommend going towards the mountains and picking your own spot, rather than having someone else pick it for you.
On the other hand, when you just have a few hours, it's nice to be in the woods quickly, so perhaps a bit of scouting on base is in order as well.
Good luck!
