All the Cardinal fans have already soured you on StL?

Please move here, MRD!
Check out Gig Harbor and pay the bridge toll. Or look at Brown's Point and Fircrest in the Northeast Tacoma area. Old Town is nice. Stadium District is cool. North Slope is beautiful. Puyallup is a nice residential town. These places are all safe.
Many of the areas around Tacoma are shit. High crime, etc. My aunt lived in a gated community in South Tacoma near JBLM (Gravelly Lake/American Lake/Steilacoom area, next door to Linda Evans). That area and west toward the Sound is nice, but once you drove out of their neighborhood and across the freeway it was pretty rough. This is the spot where four cops were murdered at a lunch counter a few years ago (thanks for releasing that previously-convicted murderer, Mike Huckabee...).
Typically stay away from the South and East Tacoma neighborhoods (east of I-5) but that is not a hard and fast rule. Living right on the lakes or otherwise wayerfront is spendy, but the prices are still significantly cheaper than 5 years ago when I moved here.
The schools can be very good. The two high school options for my kids are each in the top 1% of high schools in the nation.
Let me know if you have questions.

Also check out Federal Way. If you want more space you could try Auburn/Lake Tapps area. These places are close to downtown, 5-10 miles at the most.
Here is a taste of the local wildlife, should you choose to move here:
Advocate Magazine ranks Tacoma as the #1 gay friendly city in the USA. So it has that going for it.
Fwiw Seattle is also top 5, and SLC is #6 this year.
