Is Industrial District safe?
Industrial District sits at the safer end of Seattle by reported crime. Its SafeRoute safety index is 72 out of 100 — 18 points above the citywide median of 54, ranking 22nd of 94 Seattle neighborhoods — based on 153 incidents reported to the SPD within 1 km of the neighborhood center over the 8 months to August 2026. Almost all of this area is industrial port land rather than homes, so a low count reflects how few people are here rather than how safe the streets are.
DATA THROUGH AUGUST 2026 · 8 MONTHS OF DATA
The 0–100 scale is calibrated to Seattle — a typical Seattle neighborhood sits near 54. It ranks Industrial District against other neighborhoods here, and cannot be read against a score in another city.
Most of what's reported here is property-related — vehicle crime alone is 25% of reports — rather than violence against strangers, though the full mix below is worth a look.
Incidents spread across the day here — roughly 20% of severity-weighted reports come in the evening (6 p.m.–midnight) and 27% overnight.

How is the Industrial District 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. The scale is calibrated within Seattle, so scores compare neighborhoods to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
