Headed home to the Hood! Rainier Valley, Skyway or White Center all qualify.
Really? Please add Burien to your list as it now qualifies too.
QA, do you know this to be fact, or are you just demonstrating that you are prejudiced?
Crime statistics, not any form of prejudice implied.
And what happened at the bank on the SE corner of 152nd and Ambaum at 11am today?
Unfortunately crime is pushing further south due to Seattle gentrification.
The suburbs are becoming the new hot spots for crime.
Have you people seen Kent lately…what the hell happened to that place?
Kent Cornucopia Days is like going to a street fair in Compton…SCARY!
