Covington, WA: The Safe Place 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) I feel really safe when i am in Covington, Washington. This city has a tight nit community that makes all of the city residents feel safe. Never do you have to worry about any type of domestic violence or crime because there are a number of groups that promote safety.

With a sm ...Read More all group of people running the council in this city, there a lot of interesting and unique touches in this city. Art is promoted all over and i think that this helps the moral of the residents and keeps them thinking very positive. It is a great way to spend time with your family as well by walking around and viewing some of these art pieces. Parks and indoor recreation are a part of this cities entertainment as well.

Housing is located in different small community type settings. Everyone looks out for their neighbor and overall this is a great place to relocate to. I love this town. Read Less
