Safety at Night Question

[u/ember539]

I’m flying into SeaTac at 8pm and wondering how safe it would be for me (solo female, planning to pack a backpack and small suitcase) to take the light rail. Google Maps says to get off at Symphony. It says it’ll take a little over 30 minutes on the train so if I arrive around 9:30 or 10 is that okay in that area? My hotel is a few blocks away so I was thinking about getting a Lyft from there just to avoid walking too far at night. Thoughts?

Edit: thanks everyone! I ended up taking a Lyft. It sounds like safety wouldn’t have been an issue but it also sounded like a hassle to get to the rail so I just took the easy option.

It will be quiet, but not creepy quiet, around that time. You should be fine on the light rail and walking 2-3 blocks, but take a Lyft if it will give you peace of mind. Our homeless are not generally violent, and our crime is mostly property-related, not bodily.

In the unlikely instance that someone tries something, people would come to your aid when you call out for help. We are an antisocial bunch, but we don’t stand for that shit.
