A little history

Northeast and University District in Seattle. Seattle is the county seat of King County and the most populous city in Washington. The University District lies in central northeastern Seattle, north of Portage Bay and the Lake Washington Ship Canal and generally east of Interstate 5. It is made up of several distinct neighborhoods and contains the main campus of the University of Washington, which gives its name to the district and to University Way NE.

Notable neighborhoods in Seattle's Northeast and University District include:

University of Washington and Ravenna. The University of Washington is a public research university founded in 1861, one of the oldest universities on the West Coast. Ravenna, in northeastern Seattle, is named after Ravenna, Italy. It is considered a residential neighborhood, though it also has several businesses, many of them in University Village, a shopping mall.

Laurelhurst and Roosevelt. Laurelhurst was once a seasonal campground of the Duwamish people and has been part of Seattle since its annexation in 1910. Seattle Children's Hospital is in its northwest corner. Roosevelt's main thoroughfare, originally 10th Avenue, was renamed Roosevelt Way after Theodore Roosevelt's death in 1919. The neighborhood took its name from a Community Club contest held in 1927.

Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: property incidents were 57% (674), vehicle crimes were 32% (376), violent incidents were 7% (82) and public order incidents were 1% (17).

Recorded crime here is grouped into violent crime, property crime (burglary and theft), vehicle crime and public order offences, so you can compare how safe each neighborhood is for the kind of crime that matters to you.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

No place is left out: every neighborhood in this race has residents to count.

Sand Point (27.9 per 1,000 from 28 crimes among 1,003 residents) is a place with few residents (under 3,000): a rate on so few people says little about living there, so it is not named as the lowest or highest.

The 11 neighborhoods on the map

Northeast and University District is made of 11 neighborhoods compared here, each in its own colour on the map. They are the areas of the City of Seattle's Neighborhood Map Atlas, grouped into areas of the city by CrimesLog: 85,951 residents between them.

Sources and notes

CrimesLog sources crime incident data published by the Seattle Police Department (SPD) through the City of Seattle Open Data Portal (data.seattle.gov), containing public sector information released under the City of Seattle Open Data Program.

Population: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates (public domain).

First-place medal: 1st Place Medal emoji icon by Icons8.

Neighborhood boundaries are the Neighborhood Map Atlas areas defined by the City of Seattle, grouped into areas of the city and simplified by CrimesLog. The photographs are credited under each picture.

Rates are recorded crimes per 1,000 residents, quarter by quarter; where a neighborhood has fewer than 100 residents the rate would be worked out on 100 (those places are left out of the race). A count of recorded crime is not a verdict on any neighborhood.
