12th Avenue Neighborhood Planning

Hello neighborhood folks,     this is my first time using this site. seems like a great resource!  We will be moving to the Seattle (Fort Lewis)  Tacoma area this summer. Would like to live in a school district that has great special education services. These schools tend to be located in areas with higher median incomes. Can anyone suggest a city/town between Seattle and Tacoma (job will be at Fort Lewis) that might have a well-funded school system? Ideally husband would like to make the commute in 45 min or less.  Thank you in advance, EGREENM
