OK, I promise this is the last thing I’ll say! I didn’t mean to influence your original plan! I was just informing you that the Ft. Lewis area is a major military establishment in the state; and that has a culture that goes along with it that you may or may not like. Some are fine with it. Some are not. I was just saying: hope for some input for local folks and/or investigate that issue, that’s all.

“Danger” is a really weird topic to discuss in relation to choosing neighborhoods to live in. There really is no such thing as 0% danger, unfortunately… some cities planned to be safer suburban cities can be more dangerous than even more “dangerous looking” neighborhoods in a bigger, central city. And vice versa, too. It’s hard for newcomers to an area, especially, to gauge that factor — input from locals isn’t a guarantee, but it’s your best bet.

So, I’ll just say, finally: YO LOCALS! HELP GUSSIE15 OUT! :D
