Wife got offered a job in n oly pay is nice and would be worth relocating, but I have no idea what its like down there
Besided the hive of looters at the capitol. We live in Snohomish county so it would be big move. What is the true story
Aboit crime/ homeles/ urban victim situation, places to shoot outside ( pits and forrest ) etc.
I am used to liberals and hipsters, just want to avoid trasing more crime for mote money, we have a new born as well so
That is a consideration.Up north we have acess to pits,Bars etc.
Any info is appreciated

There are plenty of areas around Oly that you can live in (Yelm/Ranier, east of Capitol Forest) where you can get a nice bit of land & not have to put up with the hippies/hipsters/bums & sanctimonious SJWs of Olympia-proper and it's near-suburbs... The city government can get a bit on the freak-show side (Their current crusade: a 'city income tax' to provide 'free college'. Hasn't passed yet, might not even be legal, but they are trying), but if you do not actually LIVE in Oly that doesn't actually apply to you....
Added bonus to not living in Olympia, Tumwater, Lacey or Hawk's Prairie: Better houses for less money, outside of urban growth.
As long as your commute route isn't on I-5, you'll have a nice pleasant drive to/from work. The Army owns alot of the land to the southeast (and leaves it undeveloped), so there is very little population-density, and thus almost no traffic, along that route....
A bunch of us were just out shooting at a gravel pit in Capitol Forest this past weekend...
I work in the state capitol complex... I live south of Yelm... It works....
