It’s fine, not my first choice but I have family that lives there and I never saw anything criminal when visiting. Their neighborhood looked nice. It is a little methy though

I agree, Steilacoom is much nicer. My mom lives there, close to the Lakewood border. It's a nice area

I just really disliked Verity and think she’s very overrated.

I sometimes wonder this too but people are different. I'm originally from Seattle and spent about 38 years there. We left for a lot of reasons but mostly the sky high real estate and the lack of sun. The weather is so heinous and gray most of the year that I became suicidal

I prefer higher heat in general. But, Washington has a lot going for it in terms of nature, educated population, fewer republicans, that sort of thing. I'll never move back but I enjoy visiting my family. I'm always ready to leave though

Um, you're wrong about the spiders. I dealt with a lot of spiders in Washington, huge honking big ones
