Great Falls has no more/less crime and issues than anywhere else. And if you think that you're safer in Seattle - by all means, enjoy your life there. Great Falls has it's positives and negatives like anywhere else (I've lived in two large metropolitan cities as well as in Great Falls). Lifestyle is quieter, but less culture activities. There's no skinheads or nazis here, but if you're hanging out at bars, you'll hear your fair share of crass discussion about everything. It's pretty much a "purple" town, leaning more towards conservatism. It's easy to rage against GF when you are in your 20s because there "isn't much to do" - but that's a pretty thin excuse because there is plenty to do - maybe just the things *you* don't want to do. For people like that, I recommend larger cities and then come back to GF when you're older.

I stayed there twice, and the people there appear to be very average to near-poverty income, so they have no right thinking they are superior, as far as your 'skin head' comment.

Sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder. Not enough free stuff for you in Montana? You live in Seattle and call Great Falls a cesspool? You might feel at home in a CHAZ, CHOMP, CHUMP, or CHOP zone. I hear Jackson street has many great haunts too. Not one white supremist there to bother you. Bring your can of tagging paint with you. BTW, Benefis is #5 in the nation for best orthopedics. Seattle will be good to you, as you can loot, commit arson, smoke crack, defecate in the street, and seize parts of the city with fellow demographics and force the cops from their own precincts...because "defund and abolish the police" thingy, ya' know. Try that in Montana. I would surmise that ANYWHERE in Montana in not the place for you. And that's a great thing. :)
