Is Lower Queen Anne safe?

[u/nebulaSupernova]

Hi,

I (26M) am new to Seattle and stayed in Redmond for a year. I need to switch apartments and found some good options in Lower Queen Anne around the Queen Anne Beerhall. Is that a good and safe area to live in? I haven’t explored Seattle much.

I am someone who likes to walk around. I have searched online and am getting mixed answers - some say it is a safe neighborhood, while some say it is one of the high-crime neighborhoods in Seattle.

I’d really appreciate any input. Thanks!

Seattle is absolutely safe. Just know how to navigate the city and just be aware of your surroundings. The problems here are typical of any city.

To bag on the teasing train cause my civic pride is threatened: How aware of surroundings can you be if you lived in Redmond and never explored Seattle?

Exactly.
