Tukwila is a small town and I did see that SafeWise in 2016 said that is was the most dangerous town but regardless of that there are so many pros for Washington state as a whole and the greater Seattle area that says it's one of the best states to live states as well as Seattle area cities being ranked as the best cities to live in. There's so many sites with data and research proving that. Im not saying Tukwila isn't a bad area but what about all the other cities and towns in the area and the vast amount of data backing up that it's a safe, and thriving area. About the racism, I'm a minority and I realize there's going to be a handful of racist people anywhere you go but the Seattle area is not racist by any means, it's very strong liberal as you may know. Also, I'm not sure if you're familiar with other parts of the country especially down south or much of the east cost but I've seen many of these areas and have grown up in Florida. These areas tend to be very racist in the well established wealthy areas/rural areas and tend to be very violent and crime ridden larger towns/suburbs. To the point where you aren't surprised when you hear gunshots (lived in a big city in Florida), kids getting arrested in schools/schools on lockdown (fighting/bringing weapons/threats). You don't feel safe when walking in the town at night (people get robbed/attacked). Safe areas on the east coast and the south often meant a lot of racism in those areas and areas that were dangerous and had lots of crime were filled with minorities/low income households. This isn't just me I have friends and relatives across Florida, Georgia all the way to New York and many of them think it's normal to see crime like it. It's as if it's normal day to day life. Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Samamish and the surrounding areas are very safe in comparison for the most part there's some sketchy areas here and there but nothing to the level I've seen and heard of elsewhere. Whether the area is prestige/wealthy or lower income over here you can see people of all backgrounds. For the most, everyone is treated as an equal regardless of their ethnicity/race/background.
