As any Law and Order addict knows, there are two groups that protect and represent the people, “the police who investigate crimes, and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders.” These are not their stories, however.
Instead, we’re here to focus on the nastier side of that story, namely, the cities where these crimes occur. Violent crime rates are a huge factor when determining where you want to move or visit, and understandably so. Washington D.C., Chicago and Detroit years had to fight against their public image as some of the most violent and crime-ridden areas in the United States, with notable improvements in several areas.
As the say, the first step in solving a problem is admitting you have one, so let this serve less as a list for public province shaming as a rehabilitative one.
That being said, let’s dive in and take a look at “the most violent cities in Canada,” according to the crime severity index.
Edmonton: Edmonton has been seeing some tough times as of late—and we’re not just talking about the Oilers. (Really, how many first round draft picks are they going to get?) Unfortunately, Edmonton’s crime rate is about as stagnant as their hockey team. The city has had a persistent problem with violent crime, especially sex-based crimes such as sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, and sexual violations against children. That being said, Edmonton’s overall crime index rating is “only” 89.7—far lower than the others on this list.
Regina: Regina, ranks rather highly (or lowly, depending on how you look at it) when it comes to overall violent crime in Canada. It’s been trading places with Saskatoon the past few years, checking in with a 105.8 crime index rating. On the one hand, that’s definitely far too high, and hurts what is otherwise one of the more underrated settlement destinations in Canada. On the other hand, however, as Regina ranks just below Saskatoon this year, the latter’s loss is the former’s gain, as it can now report a “drop” in crime, at least in that context. Let’s hope that continues into the future, rather than the rumours of potential spikes that have been reported in the last year.
Saskatoon: Saskatoon’s placement on this list is something of a good news/bad news situation…let’s get the latter out of the way first, so we can end this section on a good note. To begin with, yes, with a violent crime index rating of 109.9. The city has flipped back and forth with Regina (see above) in the overall rankings, and has sometimes even found itself at the ignominious “top” of the standings. In the NHL, that wins you the Presidents’ Trophy. In the war on crime, that wins you an incredible amount of scrutiny. Thankfully, however, there are signs that Saskatoon is trying hard indeed to improve its record and reputation. In 2013, the mayor announced that overall violent crime in Saskatoon had dropped 9%, and there are hopes that that trend can continue.

Thousand Islands
Recorded September 9-10, 2016
The Thousand Islands constitute an archipelago of 1,864 islands that straddle the Canada–US border in the Saint Lawrence River as it emerges from the northeast corner of Lake Ontario.
The video begins as I drive across the Thousand Islands Bridge to Hill Island, Ontario. On Hill Island I ascend the 400-foot high 1000 Islands Tower for a panoramic view of the area. Next I drive back across the Thousand Islands Bridge to Alexandria Bay, New York where I embark on a two nations boat tour with a stop at Boldt Castle. The video concludes as I check into the Riveredge Resort Hotel where I enjoy a spectacular sunset from my balcony overlooking the bay.

Puget Sound /ˈpjuːdʒɪt/ is a sound along the northwestern coast of the U.S. state of Washington, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean, and part of the Salish Sea. It is a complex estuarine[3] system of interconnected marine waterways and basins, with one major and two minor connections to the open Pacific Ocean via the Strait of Juan de Fuca—Admiralty Inlet being the major connection and Deception Pass and Swinomish Channel being the minor.
Water flow through Deception Pass is approximately equal to 2% of the total tidal exchange between Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.[1] Puget Sound extends approximately 100 miles (160 km) from Deception Pass in the north to Olympia, Washington in the south. Its average depth is 450 feet (140 m)[4] and its maximum depth, off Jefferson Point between Indianola and Kingston, is 930 feet (280 m). The depth of the main basin, between the southern tip of Whidbey Island and Tacoma, Washington, is approximately 600 feet (180 m)tourism,

Port Gamble, WA - Adventures in RV Living
Welcome back, Today on 3tailsRV we take you on another RV adventure. So come along as we explore the Port Gamble on the Kitsap peninsula of Western Washington.
Port Gamble was once a bustling logging town that hasn’t changed much since the 1850s. Today Port Gamble is a popular tourist destination, and is filled with unique textile shops, books and antique stores, tea-rooms, cafes, and even a historic theater. Many of the shops are located in the original New England Victorian-style homes that have been restored and preserved. The centerpiece is the Port Gamble General Store & Cafe. Housed in the same historic location as it has been since the time of serving the active mill until 1995, it currently offers a stop for delicious meals, delightful gifts and makes this a must stop destination.
Port Gamble is a National Historic site and prior to its closure in 1995, was the oldest continuously operating sawmill in North America. Take time during your visit to stop by the museum and learn about the history behind this quaint waterside town.
Port Gamble is a great place to start or stop an outdoor recreation adventure on the Kitsap Peninsula. Olympic Outdoor Center offers kayak, bike rental and offers a boat launch at the location of the old mill site.

ABOUT THE FALLS, MCLEAN, VIRGINIA
The Falls
Reflecting timeless, modern architecture and privately positioned on a premier site overlooking the Potomac River, The Falls is the finest estate residence ever offered in the Washington region. The 3.2 acre estate affords rare privacy and is introduced via a private security and gate house which also includes staff quarters. Beyond the gates, a private drive leads to a secure arrival court and access to the underground parking garage which accommodates 30 cars. Bronze entry doors welcome guests to a gracious rotunda and gallery leading to the dramatic, two story living room overlooking the river.
The bespoke interiors were thoughtfully designed by renowned designer, Thomas Pheasant, including the majority of the furnishings which were custom made for the residence. The main residence captures six bedroom suites, all with en suite baths. The master suite is privately positioned within a private wing of the main residence and includes a private study, a spa style bath with steam, dry sauna, and jacuzzi, and an expansive dressing room. This wing also includes a private service kitchen, exercise room, massage room and a second full bath.
The main residence captures every imaginable luxury for world-class entertaining. A custom, mahogany library captures sweeping river views and includes an impressive wet bar. Nearby, a private lounge adjoins the expansive wine cellar. Just beyond the lounge, a 3-D Media Room incorporates a state-of-the-art media system. The residence offers multiple venues throughout suitable for entertaining small groups or large scale receptions.
The outdoor terrace affords perhaps the finest view of the Potomac River in the region. A glittering infinity pool and spa yield to the limitless views of the river and beyond. On the southern side of the estate, a full size tennis court and pavilion is positioned adjacent to the private gardens. A pathway through the gardens leads to the exceptional guest quarters.
The Marden House
The Marden House was designed and constructed by the world-renowned architect, Frank Lloyd Wright in 1959, and is one of only a handful of homes in the Commonwealth of Virginia designed by the famous architect.
The Marden House captures sweeping views of the river. From above, the house is shaped like a fish, appropriate for the natural setting alongside the river. As a separate guest quarters or as a place to entertain, The Marden House is a priceless addition to this most unique estate.
Beware These Worst Beaches for Shark Attacks!
Shark attacks seem to be on the rise in many parts of the world, therefore, you might want to steer clear of the following known shark-infested waters. Statistically, these are among the most dangerous beaches for deadly shark attacks.
1. Pernambuco, Brazil
The shockingly high attack rate in these waters appears to be due to over-fishing. Without enough food supply, the sharks have begun to sample other forms of fare to satisfy their relentless hunger.
2. Second Beach, South Africa
The beach is popular among shark-seeking tourists and cage divers. Tour operators dump boatloads of bloody chum in the water order to entice the great whites. You definitely don’t want to surf or swim anywhere near these boats and their chum lines.
3. New Smyrna Beach, Florida
More than 238 shark attacks have been documented at Florida’s (surprisingly) popular New Smyrna Beach. In fact, 15% of worldwide shark bites have occurred here. Most of the bites are courtesy of baby bull sharks that favor these waters. To date, none of the recorded attacks here have been fatal.
4. Velzyland Beach, Hawaii
About 41 different shark species that frequent Hawaii’s waters including aggressive specimens like bull sharks and great whites. The last fatal shark attack at this beach occurred in 1994 when a tiger shark attacked a surfer. More recent attacks on surfers have been reported, but none fatal.
5. New South Wales, Australia
This region, which includes famous Bondi Beach, has recorded more than 170 unprovoked shark attacks and more than 50 fatal attacks, and great white shark encounters are more common here than in other parts of the world. Due to the position of the continental shelf, swimmers and surfers are in close proximity of deep waters where these potential predators cruise.
6. Fletcher Cove, California
Fletcher Cove may be picturesque, but it is also the scene of 142 unprovoked shark attacks, including some recent fatalities. Scientists are convinced that the fish-strewn waters in this region are ideal feeding grounds for large predators like the great white.
7. Reunion Island, Indian Ocean
This island has had more than 10 attacks in a recent two-year period, three being fatal. This has prompted island officials to close the beaches to swimmers and surfers. Experts aren’t sure why the sharks are biting people with greater frequency.
8. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Since 2005, there have been more than fifty attacks. In fact, researchers have claimed that South Carolina’s waters are just as dangerous as Florida’s when comparing the swimmer-to-attack ratio. Their waters are attractive to species like tiger sharks and bull sharks.
9. Coffin Bay, Australia
The name says it all. Don’t swim here unless you fancy a meeting with a great white. Recently an abalone diver was attacked and killed by two great white sharks. His body was never recovered.
10. Surf Beach, California
A nineteen-year-old surfer was attacked and killed a few years ago by a great white shark believed to be 18 feet in length. The waters here are home to seals, which attract great whites in large numbers.
