Is Yakima Really A Bad Place To Live?

Many years ago I worked in Yakima and after we moved, my wife made the comment that she was glad to be done with Yakima. I asked her why because I thought Yakima was a fine place to live.

She responded that Yakima has a shooting and stabbing once a day. I never noticed that but once I looked up the crime stats, I discovered that Yakima has 3x the crime than the national average on towns of the same size. I was flabbergasted!

It never occurred to me but it did get me thinking...
