[mercadobrown13]

[LitheApo]

Does'nt matter how many murders your city gets, does'nt mean your city's better. Love it here man, no place i'd rather be. Keep it 206 All Day Everyday.

[JAYJAY206ER]

@LitheApo -i know i grew up in southern california and i love it here in seattle man for real. its safe overall and you can walk or play ball anywhere and any time without watching your back or an idiot asking where you from because a shirt or cap you have on! seattle is a good place.

[westnellaz]

@JAYJAY206ER hell yeah i agree i just moved out here from compton seattle is so nice i actually start believing in god...where as in compton i couldnt even walk 2 my mailbox in my front yard without the fear of being killed i couldnt even take my trash out without the fear of being killed...i actually finally realized what freedom is when i moved out here

How is Federal Way these days? I used to live in south Federal Way a couple years ago and it wasn't that bad. What about nowadays?

[bronson223]

@notfunny1248

[notfunny1248]

@FightingVICE Haha yeah right. These are non-Whites shooting each other.

[mryuck206]

Seattle is still one of the safest big cities to live in, in America. I've lived in the U district, Burien and Beacon Hill and never really had any problems I didn't get myself into.

[capufool]

@mryuck206 Ive lived here for a long ass time. I feel very safe in seattle. But cops.... They are getting killed left and right. I think it was like 6 cops killed in about 2 months

[LavaMountainKat]

They always blame it on guns, its not like these thugs just walk into a gun store and buy there guns.

[noelio67]

Hiye....i go to Seattle for St. Patricks every and haven't seen any trouble yet around or d/town.....ye have a beautiful city.......don't turn it into another Detroit where nobody is safe

[PabloBobadillaLopez]

[darylethames1]

skyway is damn near connected to the south end how you figure

[mryuck206]

@jugclown the U district? thats one of the safest neighborhoods in seattle. i lived there for a year. try beacon hill where im at now, or further down the hill in rainier valley.

[mzladyjae007]

@mryuck206 okay!!! SOUTHEND...MLK RaiNieR all dayyyyy!!!

[Injigo]

you gotta be kidding. they actually think posting a cop at a school is gonna discourage gang activity. They're kidding themselves

[BrandonSeattle]

Seattle is a cool place. most of the hood stuff is in South king county. we can't afford to live in the city because of the yuppies. Other than it's hard to go east to west, rain, too many cars, it's still a cool place.

[tommyisnowdead]

ballard and north seattle is beautiful the only bad area is cedar park in seattle and 32nd and 145th but north seattle is beautiful and queen anne and all that areas

[mightyhand]

where 145th? where is cedar park?
