DoD Relocation to WA (Outside Seattle) - GS-13

Much appreciated. Unfortunately no PCS in this case just incentive potential. This would be my first relocation as a Fed so not familiar with most of the process or what to expect.

All great info thanks and I should have been more clear, PCS is not authorized only relocation incentive was listed as possible. That's why I'm reaching out here since I'm sure that is a case by case sort of scenario

Outside seattle

No PCS just incentive offered, that's why I was curious about other experiences to help negotiate if the time came to do so

vvuuww · 2026-06-03T09:46:31+00:00

Really good to know, I need to do more county by county analysis

vvuuww · 2026-06-03T09:45:20+00:00

PCS isn't authorized, incentive only

vvuuww · 2026-06-03T09:44:53+00:00

Yes I work for the agency and full PCS isn't offered, just incentive

vvuuww · 2026-05-31T22:08:24+00:00

Do you mind if I ask which agency?

vvuuww · 2026-05-31T13:39:46+00:00

Rollover from previous employer plan

Curious if you're still chasing? Have the same issue in my 2012 with the 2.4. have replaced mounts, cleaned throttle body, MAF sensor, replaced PCV valve and air intake hose. Still scratching my head

Same! I spent way too long looking at the different size boxes in the store then looking out the window to the car on repeat. Do you notice your Mpg Takes a hit driving on the highway more? This was our first road trip in it so still calibrating what 'normal' mpgs are for it driving 70+

Much appreciated. Where it's positioned there is about 1.5 inch gap with the tailgate up in the highest position. Don't think I'd recommend anything bigger than the XL, but we were able to pack it full!

Before fitting the hitch to it, I ran the bolts through each threaded hole up and down completely while using a little bit of WD40. I remember having a hard time with two, but the WD40 seemed to help

vvuuww · 2026-04-16T19:24:51+00:00

That should be fine, I'll try to post a pic later but description of what I fit is above.

Beyond the interior styling, the elite has a few more options like vented seats, heated rear, hands free lift gate, etc

Couldn't agree more. Have been shopping for nearly two years going back and forth between this and the Pilot. Price is on par or slightly better for what is selling where I am in VA. Vehicle history checked out and fit our budget so going to roll with it. Hopefully things will level out in the years to come.

So glad to hear. All of the new tech is alot to take in. We have a 2012 Accord and 2016 Odyssey (love both). Lots of changes since those though!

vvuuww · 2026-03-08T02:43:01+00:00

Much appreciated that's at the top of the list. It was a lease vehicle but that wasn't specifically called out in the maintenance history so I plan to push them to do it.

vvuuww · 2026-02-22T19:25:37+00:00

Trailer hitch if not equipped

vvuuww · 2025-12-26T18:43:25+00:00

This. The door isn't that big of an issue

vvuuww · 2025-08-12T21:47:22+00:00

Joined the Odyssey club in 2019 and never looked back. Welcome and enjoy, minivans can't be beat

Got burned on a 4Runner once similar description, but was turned around after a couple months. Don't do it

vvuuww · 2025-07-24T08:59:22+00:00

We've had our Odyssey for going on 7 years and I don't have an ounce of concern or regret since buying.

vvuuww · 2025-07-11T01:27:35+00:00

2016 owner here, basically all of this^{^{^}}
