The number of homicides also rose by 24%, with 55 lives lost last year, most of those by gunfire. That surpasses the numbers in 2020, when 53 people were murdered, a 25-year high for the city.
A newly-released report from the Seattle Police Department shows violent crime hit a 15-year high in 2022.
The city of Seattle saw 739 criminal shootings and shots fired last year, a rise of 125% compared to 2019 pre-pandemic numbers. “We had 11 homicides last year related to homelessness, which is a huge increase,” he said. “Just this year alone, out of the seven homicides we’ve had, five have had some relation to homeless encampments.”While the data showed a drop in break-ins, arsons, and burglaries last year, the chief said those numbers might not paint the whole picture.
