Safety

Wallingford has a low violent crime rate and an average property crime rate for Seattle.

  WHAT’S LIVING IN Wallingford LIKE?

Wallingford is a laid back neighborhood in the northwest region of Seattle popular with singles and, given its proximity to the University of Washington, students.

In the center of the neighborhood is its main commercial thoroughfare, 45th Street, which is home to tons of restaurants and shops. An influx of well-known chefs and trendy restaurants has raised the bar for dining here.

On Wallingford's south edge Gas Works Park has plenty of green rolling hills for a lazy weekend picnic by the water and the remnants of – no surprise given the park's name – an old gasification plant, some of which has been configured into a children's play area (yes, it's safe).

Wallingford is bordered on the north by Green Lake, on the east by University District, on the south by Lake Union, and on the west by Fremont and Phinney Ridge.
