Everett, WA Safety Overview: What the Data Actually Shows

With a population of 110,840 and an overall city crime grade of C, Everett, Washington presents a more nuanced safety picture than that headline figure suggests. Dig into the neighborhood-level data — covering 21 distinct areas — and the story shifts considerably. A full 95% of analyzed neighborhoods earned a combined A or B safety rating, with 57.1% landing squarely in the A range and 38.1% earning a B. Only one neighborhood, representing 4.8% of those studied, received a C grade, and no neighborhood scored a D or F. That gap between the city-wide grade and neighborhood-level performance reflects how concentrated risk can skew aggregate numbers for an otherwise largely safe city.

Where Everett Excels: The Safest Neighborhoods

At the top of the safety rankings, Silver Firs stands out with a rare A+ grade and a median household income of $132,913 — the highest among all analyzed neighborhoods. Silver Lake, one of Everett's most populous communities at 28,529 residents, also earns a strong A grade alongside a median income of $104,361, making it a notable combination of scale and safety. Valley View (Grade A, median income $104,037), Northwest Everett (Grade A, $82,179), and Lowell (Grade A, $78,824) round out the top tier. Slightly behind but still well within safe territory, Boulevard Bluffs (Grade A-, $115,126), View Ridge Madison (Grade A-, $79,878), and Glacier View (Grade A-, $68,439) demonstrate that high safety grades extend well beyond just the wealthiest pockets of the city.

Higher-Crime Areas Worth Monitoring

Westmont is the single neighborhood that earned a C+ — the lowest grade in the dataset — making it the primary area of concern in Everett's otherwise strong safety profile. Delta (Grade B-) and Cascade View (Grade B+) occupy the middle of the higher-crime tier, while South Forest Park and Holly both hold B grades. Importantly, even these comparatively lower-rated neighborhoods are not in crisis territory; a B- is still a passing grade, and no part of Everett analyzed here fell into the D or F range that signals serious, persistent danger.

Property Crime vs. Violent Crime in Everett

Like most mid-sized Pacific Northwest cities, Everett's crime profile is weighted more heavily toward property offenses than violent incidents. Theft, vehicle break-ins, and opportunistic property crimes tend to drive the numbers in commercial corridors and higher-density areas, which helps explain why neighborhoods with greater foot traffic or mixed-use development — such as those closer to downtown — show softer grades than quieter residential enclaves like Silver Firs or Valley View. Violent crime does occur, but the overall city-wide Safety Rating of B reflects that serious incidents are not a defining characteristic of daily life for most Everett residents. The income correlation is also evident: neighborhoods with median incomes above $100,000 consistently cluster at the top of the safety rankings.

How the Crime Map Helps You Make Better Decisions

Everett's interactive crime map is a practical tool, not just an informational one. For home buyers weighing properties in Silver Lake versus areas closer to Westmont, side-by-side neighborhood grade comparisons provide immediate context that raw listing prices cannot. Renters — particularly those drawn by Everett's median rent of $1,316, which is considerably lower than Seattle — can cross-reference apartment locations against neighborhood grades before signing a lease. Daily commuters traveling through Delta or South Forest Park can use time-filtered incident data to identify whether specific corridors see elevated activity during morning or evening hours. And for families already settled in communities like View Ridge Madison or Riverside, the map supports ongoing awareness without requiring a full-time commitment to monitoring local news. Informed decisions start with accurate, neighborhood-specific data — and that is precisely what this tool is built to deliver.
