Crime and cost of living in your area.

Thanks fellas, I’ve got a bunch of places to look in to now. It’s great to have a few options to check out. Eastern WA and Georgia will be the first two I research.
Spokane (Spokamentro) has MORE than it's share of crime and violence. I'm in Coeur d Alene. Frankly, if had the money, I'd go "a little south" and try to get out of so much winter
