"...let me guess...the Amish district"
That’s the way it is in pretty much all cities large and small.
I bet one of the streets is named “Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.”
So the City Auditor came up with this? Not the police?
I would assume the Rainier Valley and parts of the Central, although the latter was being gentrified by the Capitol Hill crowd when I was living there. The areas around Pioneer Square are a little seedy, but I assume most of the crime there centers on fights over the last bottle of Thunderbird.
You nailed it dead on. I am NOT surprised. Runs right through the “CD” (Central District).
Business unfortunately.
Thanks for the ping!
20 years since I’ve been there but I’m guessing the CD.
23rd runs parallel to MLKJr Way and is about 6 blocks away from it. Any sane person who knows the area shouldn’t be driving down MLK Way without either heavy armor or heavily armed.
Actually, they shouldn’t be driving in that area at all if they’re smart.
For some reason “Posse on Broadway” by Sir Mix-A-Lot is running through my head. (Yes, children, he had a recording career before “Baby Got Back”.)
Of course, there must just be some coincidence, because “all cultures are equal”.
Perhaps the problem is in the definition of “crime”.
If we’d just define crime by another standard other than “whitey’s”, then whitey would be the group that had the highest “crime” statistics.
It’s all a matter of cultural relativism, you know.
Whitey’s opinion on what is and isn’t a crime is being forced on everyone else.
Put those Street in prison!
If streets commit crime, outlaw streets, lanes, and highways!
It’s not the street’s fault; its criminal behavior was due to a poor gravel underlayment.
Streets don’t commit crime; Cars do!
Three potholes, and you’re out!
Kill all the streets and let Gaia sort them out.

As a Seattle resident since 1962 I am continually amazed at how fast our liberal, Progressive, socialist leaders can make decisions.
This is actually "blindingly fast" fact finding for Seattle......next question is how many years will it take the city fathers to decide to act on the data.....
I predict a 6 year study to see if street lighting, additional unarmed police, signs declaring "High Crime Area", or having whistles attached to lampposts for victims to blow will be more effective.
