Hello my partner and I are considering relocating to West Seattle and would like to get some information behind the statistics provided by the blog moderator.
We read the story about the young man that stabbed someone in the neighborhood and would like to hear from other people in the area how their experiences line up in general, and especially personal safety.
I’ve never felt unsafe in West Seattle. I love it here. I love the diversity, the great businesses and food, the events, the views. I think the situation you’re thinking of was the exception and not the rule. There’s crime everywhere, and more of it in densely populated areas; no reason to feel that W. Seattle is any worse than any other part of the city.
Well, that’s unfortunate…I saw a lot of nice, sincere folks answering “Judy’s” queries. I’ll leave my response up in case other folks wondering the same thing happen by.
