Friends

My roommate wants to move in with her boyfriend in White Center in August, and she's asked me to come with her (we currently live in Shoreline). She and her boyfriend have offered me a staggeringly reasonable rate on the rent, and we are about as close as sisters (friends since early childhood). I don't actually know that much about White Center, but my impression of it is not great. Unfortunately, I can't afford to rent anywhere on my own in the greater Seattle area, so the choice is between moving with her, or moving in with strangers elsewhere.

Tell me things about White Center, people. I am counting on you to help me make this decision. I'm a geek who likes books, board gaming, thrift stores, and friendly coffee shops. Will I be happy there?
