the crime rate in Seattle is going up at a rapid pace, which is why I now CC when I rarely go into the big city...I worked the waterfront in Seattle for 30 years and never felt uncomfortable downtown...not anymore...I won't even stay after dark around Pioneer square or Pike Place market...Seattle has become a big city with all the problems that come with it ...the hip,slick and cool people can have it
