OP here. I have tried putting in within 5 miles of 22033, but it gives me hits on anything in DC (which isn't 5 miles from 22033). I haven't had much luck with the location search on USAJobs. The concern you raised above is exactly my concern!

Thanks for so many suggestions everyone, I'll take more if you have them! I was just told I can't telecommute next Friday but I am free to leave early to take my child to an appointment. I need a new job...

there are a bunch of federal agencies either located entirely or with branches in NOVA. CIA is a biggie. DHS in Crystal City. EOIR in Falls church.

I hate my commute and want more time with my family. I live in Chantilly and commute to DC daily (drive to Vienna and park and then Metro in). I want to continue working as a federal employee and I'm trying to figure out what Fed. agencies would make a better commute for me so I can focus my efforts. I have a legal background FWIW.
