A little history

West Seattle in Seattle. Seattle is the county seat of King County and the most populous city in Washington. West Seattle is a group of neighborhoods covering all of Seattle west of the Duwamish River, with saltwater beach parks such as Alki Beach Park and Lincoln Park. It was an independent town from 1902 until Seattle annexed it in 1907.

Notable neighborhoods in West Seattle include:

Alki and North Admiral. Alki is the peninsular neighborhood on Alki Point, which juts into Puget Sound. It was the original settlement in what became Seattle. North Admiral is described as the oldest neighborhood in West Seattle. In the early 1900s, ferries and a cable car connected it to Seattle.

Gatewood and Fauntleroy. Gatewood sits on the highest hill in Seattle, overlooking Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains and downtown Seattle. Its landmarks include Gatewood School, now an elementary school. Fauntleroy lies in the southwest corner of Seattle on Fauntleroy Cove. It has a Washington State Ferries terminal with service to Vashon Island and Southworth.

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.
