No, Lakewood is on par with south Tacoma as far as safety goes. Which is not great. University Place is a much safer area to live, or the north side of Tacoma. Lakewood, Ruston, University Place, Sfeilacoom and Tacoma have morphed into one continuous metro without any well defined borders and unless you’ve lived there a while it all blends into each other.
