Quatama Max station area?

BTW-you girls have been so awesome at answering all of my many questions!

Tomorrow, I am looking at a cute condo (newly constructed) that's at the Quatama Max station area. I remember a co-worker told me not to live near that station, as someone got stabbed there. But the area looks nice, so...? thoughts?

I don't think that area is bad at all.  And it's right by an awesome coffee shop I love!  

I don't think that one stabbing should really dissuade you from moving somewhere.  I hope that doesn't sound too callus...

Crime is so sporadic in this area, you could live in Bethany or the Pearl and still be a victim of crime.  But overall it's VERY low, we were just rated #3 safest city.

I live fairly close (I just google mapped it because I wasn't sure where it was at) and I feel safe.  I've gone by the station a few times without noticing it and it seems like a nice area.

I work really close by there and when I lived in NW I used to take MAX to there all the time. I think the area is fine. I would live there.

I live 1.2 miles from that max station and park & ride there often and have NEVER felt unsafe.. ever. a LOT of Intel people live by there as well.  And like JeniLovesNeil said, it's RIGHT by Iron Mutt Coffee, which is a dog friendly (They have a boxer as their logo, so of course I love it!) coffee shop that I take my puppy to a lot :)

Thanks ladies! I lived in Escondido in the San Diego area which has many shady areas, so I know I don't have to have perfect, but it's hard not really being familiar w/ the area!

Quatama should be fine. It's 82nd, Rockwood, and East County @ 181st that you might want to reconsider.

Yes, when heading east on the train they are between downtown and the end of the farthest stop east. I have to ride through the aforementioned spots daily. I hate it when it's dark out because it makes me nervous.
