    "easy the commute is not bad, the worst part is getting out of orting valley because there is currently one main road that runs through this small city. but if you allow an extra bit of time during high traffic then it is not so bad."

    "I think that every parent feels really safe in the neighborhood I am currently staying in. Seems very quiet especially during the weekdays in the daytime and and evening hours. The neighborhood children ride bikes in the road even and as a parent you know that the parent must feel safe to allow them to do so. Not much traffic down the streets at all. Even the school district is small and has that home town feel. "
