🇺🇸 USA | Seattle - dangers and crime

Was thinking flying via Seattle to Atlanta and stop in Seattle for a day, but search saw news like this road rage from a rich car? I though Seattle was more safe city than other cities in the United States, it that correct or is it not safe.

These things happen from time to time anywhere in the US. It’s highly unlikely it will happen to you or any other single person over a short time frame. The news publishes information about crimes, as they should, but you shouldn’t overgeneralize.

But China is definitely going to attack soon.

A Seattle AirB&B is going to look pretty good in that case :slight_smile:

To be fair, Eugene is pretty far from Seattle.

This one also says Washington State and Oregon area

Interesting. Sounds like one of those South American theft rings that target Asian businesses. Probably not U.S. nationals.

The perps are all illegal immigrants from Colombia according to the local Taiwanese American grapevine in Oregon, which is why they’re not being identified in the illegal immigrant friendly Oregon media.

The money quote:

Parosa said many of the people that have been arrested so far for allegedly burglarizing Asian American business owners’ homes have made bail, and fled the region.

More like “fled the country.”
