Vic's Pizza is a good reason to locate in West Oly. Plan your drive to avoid the Cooper Pt/BLB intersection and you wont have any trouble. McCleary/Elma are full of hillbilly tweeker kidnappers and are an hour's drive out of town.
Im out on Cooper Point, a 5 minute walk from the busline downtown if I wanna get schitty and not risk a DUI, I have no freeway/highway/railroad noise, the only crime has been 1 car prowl in the 5 years ive been here. They caught the punk a few days later. My kid and dog play in the street with all the other neighbour kids & dogs like something out of some 50's TV show. I can get 2 kinds of pizza and chinese delivered, I have a milkman, fer crissakes. I get broadband cable. If I wanna score some ganja, I'm a 20 minute freeway drive to Tumwater. If I want some Crack or Heroin, its a 20 minute drive to Lacey.

I used to live in East Olympia. The vagrants sleeping in my yard and stealing schit out of my carport became a weekly occurance. Same with the crackhouse across the street getting raided at 4 AM.

Yeah, West Oly sucks alright. Move out to the sticks.
