My wife and I have lived in HP since Thanksgiving 2008 and we love it. We live on Highland Park Way SW near HPIC.
We know our neighbors, we all take care of our places and we watch out for each other. We’re really close to White Center, Safeway, 99, 509/599, basically everything we need. Yes there is crime, we hear fire trucks, police cars and the mini market down the street got held up 2-3 times last year (he go held up twice (i think) during the snow storm craziness).
Break it down, we love the neighborhood, we feel safe, but we do use a home alarm and we park our cars in the garage.
You can get in contact with Dan Mullins, lead for the Highland Park Action Committee, and he can get you touch with the officer who just been re-assigned to HP, she provides a breakdown in calls every month for HPAC.
