Federal Way

A medium sized town in Washington State located next to Tacoma. Basically serves as an edge city to Tacoma due to I-5 running through it. The school district is terrible, although the 4 high-schools and some of the middle schools aren't bad. Decatur HS and Lakota Middle School are very gifted in the arts/music program, winning contests regionally and nationally wide. One of the more diverse schools, but Asians run the ASB and Leadership. Thomas Jefferson HS is the Asian and Mexican hub and is known for their math and robotics team. Federal Way High School and Todd Beamer are more about sports, and have more blacks and Islanders than the other 2 schools mentioned. Thought as one of the more ghetto schools due to constant bomb threats and gangs. The high-schools are named after famous people, with the middle schools being named after fairy tale locations or lakes such as Green Gables and Brigadoon. Due to its suburb feeling there isn't a nightlife, and the only entertaining things to do is the Dash Point State Park, Wild Waves or the Redondo Board Walk. Has your normal city elements such as gangs and hobos but they're found in the poorer parts of the city more. A nice place to live only if you are in Twin Lakes, the Enterprise Area or have a house on the Puget Sound. Worst places to live are by Lake Grove or Olympic View. An average town you should probably skip on a trip unless for Dash Point State Park or Wildwaves.
