You have just enough amenities locally to keep you satisfied, like Wal-Mart and Casa Mia Pizza:P It's just a short 20 minute drive to popular shopping places like Lacey and Olympia. This is where you will see the, bigger chains. If you're in the Military, you could be stationed at JBLM Base.
Fact: Everyone we have come in contact with are shockley friendly! I'm not use to that... haha.

I lived just outside of Yelm for a year, but went to Yelm high school and I really liked the town and the school. Freshmen usually get "creamed" by the upper classmen, but we really felt most of the "hazing" was good-natured and nothing was bad. Seniors made sure that others didn't overdo it. I have nothing but good memories of Yelm and the surrounding area. My aunt and uncle lived on Lake St Clair and I rode the bus, but the town kids were very nice and accepting.
I know things change over the years, but I remember Yelm as a neat place... not a whole lot to do back then, but still nice people

Yelm is a great place for families and kids. There are excellent schools and playgrounds! Love the local stores!
