Is Federal Way, Washington safe?

Question

I live in So Cal and have been wanting to move to Washington to go to school. Well Federal Way is cheap enough and close enough for me to afford, now I'm just wondering if it is safe. I live right now somewhere where we have at least 4 gangs in town. I would like to know that I'll be moving to a place where I won't have to worry about being shot or not being able to go to certain parts of town because of gang violence. The apartments I'm thinking about moving to are called Panther Ridge. Can anyone help me out here?

Answer 1

Some of my classmates live there and they say that it safe. Sometimes there are some loud tenants with loud cars, but it is genarally safe, I've lived there without an incident.

The only negative that has happened was that there was a rapist arrested in the same apartment complex where my girfriend lived at the time.

Her and her roomate asked to be transfered to a top level apartment where they felt that there was no way anyone could get through their window.

BUT in comparison to South Cal. the gang problem is not as bad here in the Northwest.
