72/100
Moderate
SafeRoute safety index for the area within 1 km of the center of Seaview — higher is safer. 27th of 94 Seattle neighborhoods.

Most of what's reported here is property-related — vehicle crime alone is 30% of reports — rather than violence against strangers, though the full mix below is worth a look.

Timing matters here: about 37% 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 Seaview 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.
