Coming to Ft. Lewis? If you are, I'd check out Dupont. Much nicer than most of Lakewood/Tacoma.

I think in my 29 years alive, this is the first time I've ever heard somebody I don't know refer to my hometown.

Most of the times I say DuPont, Washington natives look at me with a confused look.

That's because it's in "drive past" country. As in, "between Tacoma and Olympia we have to drive past DuPont".

How often do you hear people chatting about Roy, Vader, Morton, Thorp, Naches, etc.?

You are in Wikipedia. What greater fame is there? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPont%2C_Washington

There seems to be a lower crime rate there.

And many new apartments!
