Tell me more...................

I have read all the comments, and am still wondering..........
I am a single parent with one teenager at home (will start college in a few years), and another child who is bi-racial and also a single parent. I would like to buy a home to leave behind for my kids, and live in a community that is accepting of diversity, with not too much crime, good educational opportunities, and a not-too-high cost of living (I know I am overly optimistic). I love to hike, so it sounds as if Spokane would be a good choice for recreational opportunities. However, I am curious as to whether my grandchildren would be accepted into the community. Also, I am wondering whether an old tree-hugger would be welcomed, and whether her activist daughter would be fighting the homophobes as she is in Kalispell. (Regarding Kalispell, the cost of living is high, 1/3 of the population lives below 200% of the federal poverty level, and good ole boys reign supreme). Also, I am curious as to whether there are there senior living options available for my aging mother. I would appreciate any feedback.
