Member Link Up SLC, Utah people......

Gonna be moving to Salt Lake City at the beginning if the year due to a job offer my wife got with the BLM. We're curious about where to look for housing. Schools will be important to us as we have one entering elementary school next school year. She will be working at some federal building in downtown SLC, near some Mormon tabernacle or some shit. I plan on trying to get employed at USP in Draper, so we are looking for somewhere in between. We have been told to look around the Sugar House area (??) and stay in the eastern suburbs.
We're also curious about the goings on in SLC (dragstrip, racetrack, golf, shooting, hunting, hiking).
TIA
