    "My commute is to Puyallup, 27 minutes at 10:30 am and I drive, but I used to work in Bellevue, and took public transportation exclusively. It was rough taking 4-5 buses/trains at just under 3 hours each way, but public transportation in Tacoma is great. On time, frequent and usually not too crowded. I say all this coming from LA, where you’re lucky if a bus shows up at all. "

    "Everyone in this neighborhood is incredibly friendly and looks out for each other. All of our neighbors are very sweet and considerate and invite us to events at their houses often and it’s just a very warm and inviting area to live in. We walk to the Point Ruston farmers market, Point Defiance is right up the road, and it isn’t difficult to get anywhere with the highways so close by. "

    "I love the North End! My favorite place to live so far! I live in the Proctor area. We see dear sometimes wandering around and on Union and 30th a few times. There are more people walking their dogs and jogging than cars driving the side streets. Proctor street can be busier but go down any side street and its quiet. Also there are parks everywhere "

    "Most people keep their dogs restrained, meaning not loose. However there are quite a few in fenced backyards that’ll react as you walk by. WAG is a great dog store and farmers market is open to dogs. "
