Just moved here over a year ago. It's not too bad. There's a lot of poverty but also million dollar houses. The schools do suck. Politics wise it's fairly even. My husband isn't white and we haven't had issues. My oldest is non-binary and no issues. There are 3 places that I know of that are known to be racist. There's like no traffic. It has almost everything. The safeway is a little sketchy because of their location. I have no issues with Walmart. It's only 25-30mins from Olympia.

I lived in Lakewood for 4 years. Specific areas are sketchy. There are a lot of nicer, expensive areas. The target and Walmart are way more chill than the tacoma ones. There's a farmers market in the summer. Fort steilacoom Park is cool. For the most part, I think it's safer than tacoma.
