Was just expressing that if someone has that much time to vandalize a place that public then they certainly have time to do something else just behind the barrier.

BTW Lacey has 4% higher property crime than the WA average which comes out to 49% higher than US average.

Knowing the area extremely well and still in touch with many former coworkers there - I don't believe for one minute that crime is that high.

Average home price is about $300,000. So...got a link for that info?

Living in Lacey, WA Gie DG Send Message View Profile Star Rating 6/14/2012 My husband is in the military and so we move from place to place. Lacey is about 20 minutes drive from Joint Base Lewis Mcchord. The area is really nice because it is a new development. Lots of brand new houses at the same time very quiet place to live in. The crime rate is almost non existent although there are still some. How many times have I left the garage door opened unintentionally and when I came back, my house is still intact.Right now, the place is booming. They are currently building a huge out patient clinic in the neighnorhood that would generate a lot of jobs. There are shopping places like Costco, Safeway, Walmart all within minutes away. The mall is in Olympia which is probably a good 20 minutes drive. There is a shopping outlet 30 minutes away. Portland, Oregon is a mere 2 and a half hours away. It is 40 minutes away from Seattle, WA the bigest city in this state. And there is Tacoma, WA another city with shopping centers etc. If you love the outdoors, WA is definitely a nice place to live in. So many places to hike, ride your bike, kayak, run, camp. A good place for family definitely. What amazes me is how friendly the people are here.

Being located between Seattle and Portland I expect a lot of Antife out there. Remember how they riot in downtown Seattle?
