Seattle is one of the safest cities in the United States, but still, you should follow safety tips...as we all should in any larger city! Thanks for your comment and have a great weekend.

Many parts of Seattle seem not to be very safe

I appreciate the offer. Living in Fl, I leave from Miami or Port Lauderdale for the few times I cruise. Regarding Seattle, you certainly have your work cut out to rebut the images we have seen the past couple of years.

Does this really have anything to do with the villages? Does anyone leave from Seattle to go to Alaska?

You must not cruise to Alaska much. Yes, many people from here fly to Seattle to cruise to Alaska. We have done it twice in the last 3 years. Both time spent an extra day in Seattle walking the streets. Never felt in danger. I am sure there are places in Seattle that you do not necessarily want to go, like most cities, and we did see a good deal of homeless people, but our experience both times was great. No one bothered us.

Don't mind you promoting your business but think you should check your facts before posting. The City of Seattle is NOT one of the safest cities in the US. It suffers from poor leadership that has resulted in a meaningful reduction in law enforcement officers. Its homeless population is large with encampments throughout the city. Crime continues to rise and plague the area.

I booked a room on a cruise in January leaving from Florida because I was assured that the entire crew would be vaccinated and all passengers would be vaccinated. But after the Florida government refused to allow the cruise line to require that, I cancelled my reservation. Without required vaccinations, I don’t feel safe in close quarters on a cruise ship.

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.

Cruised out of Seattle
 

We cruised out of Seattle on October 1, 2021. We had a great time visiting Seattle and cruising to Alaska. Highly recommend both. We also spent a day on a small group (6 people) day trip to Mount Rainier with a company called Yonder Sky. They do several part day and day long trips in the Seattle area. The young man who is owner and guide, Daniel Perry, did a fabulous job. If we are back in Seattle, we will book Yonder Sky for another adventure.

Ain't talking vaccinations................crime is the issue.
Police are handcuffed.
Homeless is unbelievable.

Go walk the streets, you will learn.
