In addition to the factors mentioned above, another contributor to the growth of Yelm is the expansion of military facilities in the area. The town is home to Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), one of the largest military bases on the West Coast. In recent years, JBLM has undergone significant expansion, with new construction and upgrades to existing facilities. This has brought new jobs and economic opportunities to the area, as well as an influx of military personnel and their families.

The military presence in Yelm has also had a positive impact on the community in other ways. Local organizations, such as the JBLM Family and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation program, offer a range of activities and resources for military families, from sports and fitness programs to social events and support services. Additionally, military personnel and their families often volunteer their time and resources to support local organizations and causes.

Overall, the military growth in Yelm has played a significant role in the town's recent growth and development. As the expansion of JBLM continues, it's likely that this trend will continue, bringing new opportunities and benefits to the community.
