Safety index · North Central, Seattle · data through July 2026
Is Fremont safe?
Fremont records more reported crime than most Seattle neighborhoods. Its SafeRoute safety index is 35 out of 100 — 22 points below the citywide median of 57, ranking 77th of 94 Seattle neighborhoods — based on 727 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 36% of reports — rather than violence against strangers, though the full mix below is worth a look.
Timing matters here: about 34% 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 Fremont safety index calculated?
SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the Seattle Police Department by severity (violence weighs more than shoplifting), sums the last available period within 1 km of the neighborhood center, and normalizes against citywide crime rates onto a 0–100 scale — higher is safer. It describes reported crime only; it is not a guarantee of safety.
