Government hiring usually starts strong after October 1 when the new budget kicks in. With a new president taking over in January get ready for hiring freezes that could tie things up for a year.
It is often easier to get a government job once you are employed by the government. It is not uncommon for a highly qualified person to accept a job way under their education just to get civil service status. That way it is easier for an agency or another agency to transfer that position.
Transportation Security Administration has a high turnover among airport screeners so I suspect there are openings there. McChord AFB and Fort Lewis are going through expansions so they will be hiring civilians. Any job carrying a gun will pay more, but will probably involve odd shifts and odd days off.
Government pay is generally lower than the market, but there are annual increases and the benefits are adequate.
