Review of Tacoma, Washington

Tacoma is truly awful
Star Rating - 10/5/2012
I went to college and stayed for over 25 years. I am not sure why I stayed because of the number of times I was a victim of a crime including assault by a stranger. There are people who will not even drive through the city out of fear. The high school dropout rate is thirty percent. The east side of Tacoma is particularly violent and it is best no on drives in this part of the violent town.

You really don't know what you are talking about, I have raised two daughters 10 and 13 and I married in a church in the Eastside and I've lived here on the Eastside since 2000, in 14 years I have not seen any major crime.
