One of the most important is how safe the city or town you\u2019re looking to live in actually is. It\u2019s with that in mind that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Movoto Real Estate<\/a> Blog has been analyzing safety in all 50 states, and today we\u2019re looking at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington<\/a>.<br \/>\nAfter conducting our analysis, we determined that Sammamish is the safest places in the Evergreen State with a population of more than 10,000. The full top 10 includes:<br \/>\n1. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/sammamish-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sammamish<\/a><br \/>\n2.

We then gathered crime data on each place from the FBI\u2019s 2012 Uniform Crime Report, omitting any that do not report crime data to the bureau. This left us with a total of 74 places, which we looked at in terms of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Murder<\/li>\n<li>Rape<\/li>\n<li>Robbery<\/li>\n<li>Assault<\/li>\n<li>Burglary<\/li>\n<li>Theft<\/li>\n<li>Vehicle theft<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We divided these crimes into four distinct categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Murders<\/li>\n<li>Violent crimes<\/li>\n<li>Property crimes<\/li>\n<li>Total crimes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We calculated crime rates for each place based on crimes per 100,000 residents, a standard analytical practice used to make comparisons between locations with different population sizes fair. Each place was given a ranking of 1 to 74 in murders, violent crimes, property crimes, and total crimes per 100,000 with one being safest.<br \/>\nThese four rankings were then weighted so that murders, violent crimes, and property crimes each accounted for 30 percent of the overall score, while total crimes made up 10 percent. The weighted rankings were averaged into one overall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/kind-of-a-big-deal-lists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Deal Score<\/a>, with the lower the score, the safer the place.<br \/>\nYou\u2019ll find a full ranking of the safest places in Washington at the end of this article. First, though, let\u2019s look in more detail at the 10 safest places, starting with Sammamish.<\/p>\n<h2>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/sammamish-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sammamish<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/safest-washington\/images\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Sammamish, WA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: City of Sammamish<\/div>\n<p>In 2012, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/seattle-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seattle<\/a> suburb saw only 728 property crimes and 34 violent crimes (including no murders) per 100,000, for a total of 762 crimes per 100,000 people, a fact that is made even more impressive by the city\u2019s population of nearly 48,000. This means that residents in the city had just a 1 in 131 chance of being the victim of any crime in 2012.<\/p>\n<h2>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/snoqualmie-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Snoqualmie<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/safest-washington\/images\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Snoqualmie, WA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: City of Snoqualmie<\/div>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/king-county-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">King County<\/a> city had the lowest violent crime rate, with a total of just 18 violent crimes per 100,000 people in 2012, none of which were murders.<br \/>\nSnoqualmie also ranked well for its lack of property crimes, reporting just 1,283 per 100,000 people in 2012. This included 1,001 thefts, 255 burglaries, and 27 vehicle thefts. To put that into perspective for you, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/port-orchard-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Port Orchard<\/a>, a similarly sized city, saw more than 5,200 thefts, 1,300 burglaries, and 612 vehicle thefts per 100,000 people.<\/p>\n<h2>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/bainbridge-island-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bainbridge Island<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/safest-washington\/images\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Bainbridge, WA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: City of Bainbridge Island<\/div>\n<p>This city ranked fourth safest in terms of property and total crime rates. In 2012, Bainbridge Island saw 1,226 property crimes and 51 violent crimes per 100,000, making for a grand total of just 1,277 crimes per 100,000 people that year.<br \/>\nJust like our other safest cities in the state, this did not include any murders, and, in fact, no robberies either. Compare that to SeaTac, with a similar population and 249 robberies, and you can see why Bainbridge Island made our top 10.<\/p>\n<h2>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/mercer-island-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mercer Island<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/safest-washington\/images\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Mercer Island, WA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: City of Mercer<\/div>\n<p>According to our analysis, Mercer Island was one of the least violent places in the state, with a total of just 48 violent crimes per 100,000 people in 2012. This included no murders, nine rapes, nine robberies, and 30 aggravated assaults per 100,000. This may sound a bit frightening all laid out at once, but compare that to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/tukwila-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tukwila<\/a>, where there were 10 murders, 102 rapes, 498 robberies, and 407 aggravated assaults per 100,000 people, and Mercer Island\u2019s safety is evident.<\/p>\n<h2>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/pullman-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pullman<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/safest-washington\/images\/5.jpg\" alt=\"Pullman, WA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Rod Schwartz-PalousePics.com<\/div>\n<p>With just over 30,000 residents, Pullman is the largest city in Whitman County and home to Washington State University. Pullman ranked as second safest for both its property and total crime rates, with just 762 and 859 per 100,000, respectively during 2012. This meant that residents here had a 1 in 116 chance of being the victim of a crime.<\/p>\n<h2>6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/west-richland-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">West Richland<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/safest-washington\/images\/6.jpg\" alt=\"West Richland, WA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Scott Butner<\/div>\n<p>In 2012, West Richland saw 1,137 property crimes and 114 violent crimes per 100,000, for a total of just 1,251 crimes per 100,000 people, placing it third for its overall number of crimes. For violent crimes, the city saw just eight robberies and 106 aggravated assaults per 100,000, along with no rapes or murders.<br \/>\nAs far as property crimes go, the majority of West Richland\u2019s property crimes were thefts (788), followed by burglaries (333), and then assaults (106), all per 100,000 residents.<\/p>\n<h2>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/kenmore-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kenmore<\/a> (tie)<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/safest-washington\/images\/7a.jpg\" alt=\"Kenmore, WA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Eric Frommer<\/div>\n<p>The first of our two seventh place spots went to Kenmore. Nestled along the north shore of Lake Washington, Kenmore had a low number of crimes overall, just 1,774 per 100,000 in 2012. This number included 1,694 property crimes and 80 violent crimes per 100,000. No rapes or murders were among these.<\/p>\n<h2>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/camas-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Camas<\/a> (tie)<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/safest-washington\/images\/7b.jpg\" alt=\"Camas, WA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: City of Camas<\/div>\n<p>Camas ranked seventh overall for its lack of violent crime, with just 60 violent crimes per 100,000 people in 2012. This included five robberies, 10 rapes, 45 assaults, and no murders per 100,000 for the year. It also ranked well for its total crime rate of just 2,074 crimes per 100,000 people in 2012.<br \/>\nTo put that this perspective, the similarly sized Tukwila saw 17,082 total crimes per 100,000 people in 2012. That\u2019s almost nine times as many, and Tukwila has fewer residents than Camas.<\/p>\n<h2>9. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/mukilteo-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mukilteo<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/safest-washington\/images\/9.jpg\" alt=\"Mukilteo, WA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikimedia user Ken Brown<\/div>\n<p>Mukilteo previously made our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/the-10-best-cities-in-washington\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10 best places in Washington<\/a> for a number of reasons, one of which was its low crime rate.

To break that down a bit further, the city saw 1,834 property crimes and 82 violent crimes per 100,000 people, none of which were murders.<\/p>\n<h2>10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/maple-valley-wa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maple Valley<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/05\/safest-washington\/images\/10.jpg\" alt=\"Maple Valley, WA\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: City of Maple Valley<\/div>\n<p>In 2012, Maple Valley reported just 1,532 property crimes, including 937 thefts, 462 burglaries, and 133 vehicle thefts per 100,000 people.
