Wasco Reviews
Rating 3.52 out of 5 64 reviews
I grew up here in wasco. Its all right but, there are a few pros and cons. First of all, there are way too many shootings, killings, robberies, crimes etc. Second, it has a few stores and if you need to go to specific store (that isn't in Wasco) you'll probably have to go to Bakersfield or Delano. Also, one of the scariest things happening right now (10/13/22) is that there are problems in between the gangs of Wasco, Shafter, and Delano. I literally cant go to sleep in my own home anymore and I dont feel safe because of this. There has been about 5 shootings only in this week, and every time I do try to get rest there is always either and Ambulance, Fire Truck, or Police siren. I would give my Hometown a better rating, if there wasn't as much crime and bad things going on. Hope this Helps!

Wasco is basically where I group up and throughout the years it’s only gotten worse. I liked the community we had where we can together we would do several events at the park, at school , and even when corona hit some teachers came to honk outside students houses in like a parade . It’s gotten pretty bad over the years though there have been a lot of shootings , accidents, and other things.Since I started college I visit every chance I get and I stay with my parents.
My experience in Wasco has been amazing, but not the best. The good things about Wasco are how everyone is united when we have a downfall. We have many activities around the town throughout the year, to distract yourself for a while. The bad things about Wasco is being ran by rich people who control most of the town.
