Not familiar with that particular part of Olympia, but having lived in both Maryland (DC metro) and lived in the Olympia/Seattle corridor, I doubt you have anything to worry about safety-wise. It s Olympia, it s small, it s the state capital. For comparison, I d argue plenty of places in Annapolis or Frederick/Ft Detrick are less safe than any spot you will find in Olympia. Images of the apt complex here:http://www.forrent.com/apartment-communi��and some reviews here:http://www.apartmentratings.com/rate/WA-��Reviews seem to be a mixed bag, some loved it, more seemed to have thought the managment is terrible.For what it s worth, you could check out the craigslist housing list for olympia (olympia is listed as a part of the seattle/tacoma region and NOT as part of the olympic penninsula):http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/hhh/Enjoy the area. Summers are gorgeous. Winters are .... wet and grey.
I m not familiar with those particular apartments, but Oly in general is pretty safe. If you can afford to rent a house, you should look at Dupont. It is a really nice, new neighborhood that is a lot closer to Ft. Lewis.
Area around Fort Lewis is alright, Tacoma hill is horrible though. Hopefully someone else can give you a more detailed description of the area, as I am not that far south.
