Is East Queen Anne safe?
East Queen Anne records more reported crime than most Seattle neighborhoods. Its SafeRoute safety index is 43 out of 100 — 14 points below the citywide median of 57, ranking 67th of 94 Seattle neighborhoods — based on 537 incidents reported to the SPD within 1 km of the neighborhood center (data through July 2026).
Most of what's reported here is property-related — vehicle crime alone is 38% of reports — rather than violence against strangers, though the full mix below is worth a look.
Timing matters here: about 32% of severity-weighted incidents are reported overnight (midnight–6 a.m.), so route choice late at night matters more than the headline number suggests.

How is the East Queen Anne safety index calculated?
