    "Lots of dogs in Olympia/Lacey! Lots of people being walked and dogs getting out and about. Sidewalks and parks and other dog lovers abound!"

    "Walking distance to children’s museum, farmers market, and incredible ice cream. Also in walking distance to unhorsed campsites, industrial sites, and water treatment plants. 🤷‍♂️"

    "My neighborhood has the capital campus right across the street, which is great for dog running, working out, walks, etc. I am also on the bus line with walking distance to the downtown district."

    "There are many street people and the bars are loud. It doesn’t feel very clean or safe. There is also quite a bite of vandalism and graffiti and the police do not even come out for that. I love my apartment and the view, but it is not easy to live downtown."

    "There is a lot of homeless doing what they do. You will find the occasional pile of human excrement and needles. Just be careful."
