Reply to comment by strictlytacos in Safest areas for families? by Worried_Coconut_9754

Would you say other areas are a little less “trumpy”? We were looking into Tacoma initially but heard that there’s some safety issues. Seattle is a little too much of a big city (+ out of price range) for our preferences but we’d like to live close enough to commute on occasion.

Kitsap County is filled with Trump folks. As a biracial nonbinary person I made the move to Tacoma because I was tired of the whispers and sometime blatant racism. There are safety issues in Tacoma, as in any city, but it is also a place with so much character and a ton of families and communities. Moving towards Kitsap from King or Pierce County it just gets more conservative. I grew up in Gig Harbor and it is a Christian town, but like pseudo religious where all the teens still drink and have sex but feel comfortable discriminating against marginalized people.

Good to know! Which areas of Tacoma are “safer”? I visited a few years ago but only to see friends that lived there at the time so I wasn’t able to get a good picture of the city aside from a few really cool places we visited
