Is Harbor Island safe?
Harbor Island sits at the safer end of Seattle by reported crime. Its SafeRoute safety index is 96 out of 100 — 39 points above the citywide median of 57, ranking 1st of 94 Seattle neighborhoods — based on 17 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 — other theft alone is 47% of reports — rather than violence against strangers, though the full mix below is worth a look.
Timing matters here: about 63% of severity-weighted incidents are reported overnight (midnight–6 a.m.), so route choice late at night matters more than the headline number suggests.
