No one bothered us.

Same here, spent a lot of time in the Seattle area. So much to see and do. Never a problem. The Alaska cruises are awesome.
Safety is no different than the larger cities in FL or elsewhere. All have small areas to avoid.
The difference in visability is primarily media focus and various cultural/political agendas from many sides.
