Partition

Most tourists' activities are usually limited to the downtown, international district and Seattle Center. This is really regrettable, because places like Capitol Hill, West Side, and the North of the Waterway Canal actually each have their own interesting points. Seattleites generally divide towns roughly according to the categories listed below. Although there are 30 formal community divisions, and the boundaries of such divisions are not always clear, each community usually has a place worth exploring.

Safety

Basically, the crime rate in Seattle is no different from other major cities in the United States. As long as travelers apply basic common sense from time to time, they will not be targeted by criminals.

In Seattle, car burglaries and thefts happen from time to time, so passengers should not leave valuables in the car, and the door should be locked after the car is photographed.

Smartphone thefts also happen from time to time, so travelers should always stay alert.

Due to the gentrification of the city, street sleepers often gather in downtown Seattle. They will beg for money from passers-by, and some people may have mental disorders, but they usually do not pose a danger to passers-by. However, if passengers go to the city center after nightfall, they should remain vigilant.
