No it's not bad. It's not like get shot in the street crime or get your car stolen. It was a very poor isolated area for a long time and had alot of tweakers. There is still some of that drug history there but for the most part it is growing rapidly and a nice town

That’s good to hear. The car theft was my biggest concern. I had two cars stolen from me while living in Spokane and I currently live in the Midwest where I don’t lose sleep at night worrying about that anymore. Just trying to get a feel for whether or not that’s what’s I’m getting myself into again by moving to western Washington.

Oh yeah it's nothing like Spokane that's for sure. Most of the crime is Olympia and north towards Seattle

That’s totally untrue, Shelton has a higher rate of crime than Olympia
