Remember everyone, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell and Police Chief Shon Barnes say violent crime is down in Seattle
The claim about violent crime decreasing in Seattle aligns with statements from Mayor Bruce Harrell and Police Chief Shon Barnes, supported by data showing a 15% drop in violent crime in the first four months of 2025 compared to 2024, and a 25% reduction compared to 2022. However, some neighborhoods like Capitol Hill have seen increases, and public sentiment on platforms like X suggests skepticism, as reflected in the referenced post.
