Yes, our work is cut out for us getting people to say University Place, even "near Tacoma" would be okay.

Call UP police, ask. That's when we found out. I wouldn't be too eager to close, either. Even though…Read More our car was totaled, insurance paid us only 1/2 the replacement value (we'd found an identical car). The fact that the deputy didn't cite the other driver (even though there were witnesses that stated that person was breaking the law and entirely responsible) did affect our claim, and we're still suffering as a result. Good luck.
