Frequently Asked Questions About Woodinville, WA Crime & Safety

Is Woodinville, WA safe?

Woodinville ranks as Very Safe with a city-wide safety rating of A and an overall crime grade of B+. Of the 15 neighborhoods analyzed on the Woodinville crime map, 93.3% earned a Grade A and the remaining 6.7% earned a Grade B — meaning every single neighborhood in Woodinville falls into the safe category. No neighborhoods received a C, D, or F grade. Standout performers include Wedge, Ring Hill, East Wellington, West Wellington, Reintree, Hollywood Hill, Cottage Lake, Reinwood Leota, and Woodinville Heights, all of which achieved the top A+ designation. Even the areas with relatively higher activity — Town Center (B+) and North Industrial (A-) — still score well above average by national standards. For a city of 13,038 residents, this near-universal A-grade distribution is exceptional.

What is the crime rate in Woodinville, WA?

Woodinville's crime profile is among the strongest in the greater Seattle metro area. Across all 15 analyzed neighborhoods, 14 earned a Grade A and 1 earned a Grade B+ (Town Center). No neighborhood scored below a B+. The city's low poverty rate of 3.3% and unemployment rate of 4.2% correlate strongly with its suppressed crime levels — research consistently links economic stability to lower property and violent crime. Neighborhoods like Ring Hill (median income: $174,552) and East Wellington (median income: $201,548) exemplify this pattern, both holding A+ grades. Even the most active area, Town Center, earns a B+, reflecting the modest uptick in incidents typical of any city's commercial core rather than a genuine safety concern.

What are the safest neighborhoods in Woodinville?

Nine neighborhoods achieved the highest possible A+ grade on the 2026 Woodinville crime map:

• East Wellington — A+ | Population: 1,093 | Median Income: $201,548
• West Wellington — A+ | Population: 470 | Median Income: $171,463
• Hollywood Hill — A+ | Population: 6,155 | Median Income: $187,345
• Reinwood Leota — A+ | Population: 1,169 | Median Income: $183,554
• Ring Hill — A+ | Population: 5,301 | Median Income: $174,552
• Reintree — A+ | Population: 2,598 | Median Income: $169,888
• Woodinville Heights — A+ | Population: 911 | Median Income: $166,171
• Cottage Lake — A+ | Population: 2,964 | Median Income: $149,741
• Wedge — A+ | Population: 1,976 | Median Income: $128,834

A notable pattern: every A+ neighborhood carries a median household income well above the city-wide median of $114,967, with East Wellington topping the list at $201,548. For families prioritizing both safety and community investment, Hollywood Hill and Ring Hill also offer the largest residential populations among the A+ tier, suggesting established, stable communities.

Which areas of Woodinville have higher crime activity?

Even Woodinville's most active areas score well by any objective measure. Town Center is the only neighborhood graded B+ — the lowest grade in the entire city — which reflects its role as a commercial and entertainment hub (including the well-known wine and dining district) where foot traffic naturally elevates incident reports. North Industrial earns an A-, consistent with light-industrial zones that can attract opportunistic property incidents after business hours. Lower West Ridge, Upper West Ridge, and Valley Industrial all hold solid A grades. Importantly, none of these areas represent a safety concern in absolute terms — a B+ in Woodinville would be an enviable score in most U.S. cities. Visitors to the Town Center wine country corridor should exercise standard precautions such as securing valuables in vehicles.

Is Woodinville a good place to live in 2026?

By nearly every measurable indicator, Woodinville ranks as an outstanding place to live in 2026. Consider the key data points: a median household income of $114,967, a median home value of $685,973, a poverty rate of just 3.3%, and an unemployment rate of 4.2% — all well above national benchmarks. On the safety side, 100% of neighborhoods grade B or better, and 93.3% grade A. The city's population density of 896 residents per square mile keeps it suburban in character without the crime pressures of dense urban cores. Neighborhoods like Hollywood Hill (pop. 6,155, A+) and Cottage Lake (pop. 2,964, A+) offer larger community environments with top-tier safety grades, while smaller enclaves like East Wellington and West Wellington provide quieter, high-income settings. Whether you're a young professional, a growing family, or a retiree, Woodinville's combination of economic strength, low crime, and quality of life is difficult to match in the Pacific Northwest.

How does Woodinville's safety compare to other Washington cities?

Woodinville's B+ overall crime grade and city-wide A safety rating place it among the safest incorporated cities in King County and Washington State. With a 3.3% poverty rate — compared to the U.S. average of roughly 12% — and zero neighborhoods graded below B+, Woodinville outperforms the vast majority of comparably sized Washington cities. The fact that 14 of 15 neighborhoods (93.3%) hold an A grade is a statistical outlier in the best possible sense. Cities of similar population in the region typically show a much wider spread of grades, including C and D neighborhoods. Woodinville's consistent performance across all 15 analyzed neighborhoods, from the dense Hollywood Hill corridor to the smaller Woodinville Heights enclave, reflects a community-wide safety culture rather than isolated pockets of security.
