Washington is very nice and peaceful. The community is heartwarming and the school system is great. I've lived here for almost 6 years and I love it. The suburb of Peoria is rather small, but every thing to live is in town. There is grocery and hardware stores. The only thing I would want to see changed is more stores and restaurants in town. For shopping and a good quality dinner, one must travel outside of Washington to do so. As a whole, Washington is amazing.
It's unfortunate, but many people in Washington are very close-minded. This is reflected by the not-so-diverse demographics of the area. On the other hand, it is a safe area to live in, and you will find many posts on the local social media page if any issues arise within the community.
I like the people in the community of Washington. Everyone is always so friendly no matter where you go around town. However, I feel like there needs to be some changes with restaurants and buildings around here. For example, there is a plot of land for sale across from the McDonald's and multiple businesses keep going out of business. I feel like they need to rethink building there. I also do not like how Washington values the name over talent when it comes to sports. It is one of the many reasons I did not continue my high school sports career.
