I avoid that place like the plague after having ten too many encounters with tweaker lowlifes that seem to infest the area. If you decide to go please be careful.

This. That, and the greeners have put random bike trails through the stupidest places and have no situational awareness.

Well that kinda disappointing but totally appreciate the heads up....
I would like somewhere i can shoot(legally), maybe camp for night, not many hours drive from Tacoma, and with woods so i can get away from city. If you have any recommendations please feel free to enlighten me because I don't have a clue.

What do you consider not many hours from Tacoma?
I will echo the sentiments with regard to capital state forest.

Because of my location I frequent the olympic peninsula. No problems shooting or camping in the national forest.

Take a bit of a drive north from CSF and check out the high steel bridge.

You will see plenty of opportunities and run into some friendly folks who will be glad to point the way.
