Is Southeast Magnolia safe?
Southeast Magnolia shows a typical level of reported crime for Seattle. Its SafeRoute safety index is 70 out of 100 — 13 points above the citywide median of 57, ranking 30th of 94 Seattle neighborhoods — based on 173 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 40% 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 Southeast Magnolia 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.
