Coming from the NYC metro area, I lived in Columbia City for approximately a year and had very little safety concerns besides my vehicle parked on the street. In comparison, Seattle is much safer than NYC. Columbia City is very convenient for transport as well as close to parks. During the day it is as safe as can be and at night I rarely have seen anyone out and about, but there has been a time or two after dark where I would consider a possible issue. More of a laid back community. Best quality is its easy commute to Bellevue and downtown in the morning for work. Worst quality is the homeless slowly moving down Rainier/MLK.
Just a wonderful neighborhood!!! If you want to become more involved try the neighborhood Columbia City page. But beware, this is a page for people with specific views. If you do not agree with those views you will find that you are unwanted and may be removed.
I’ve lived here for 8 years and it’s been continually getting worse. My house has been shot at, my car broken into, and on more than one occasion I’ve had people try to break in.
