West Pasco, WA
Not Quite Hell, But Definitely the Same Zip Code -
8/21/2010I've lived in Pasco most of my life. I, like a lot of people, hate it here. City Council has their fingers in everything, always annexing to increase their revenue. City ordinances determine where you hang your laundry, what percentage of your front yard is grass, and the property taxes are relatively high. City police are mostly the opposite of helpful. I've met very few who understand what honesty and integrity is. Everyone is treated with suspicion, no "innocent until proven guilty" here. They're not just police, they feel the need to pass judgement, too.
If that's not bad enough, the gangs and the drug dealers and moving west in order to escape the scrutiny of police in "the ghetto".
There are some good schools here, and when the parks aren't crowded in the summer it's a great place to spend time with your family.
