Last week when this newspaper asked the Seattle police to sum up how it’s going with crime around the city, an assistant chief was blunt:
“We’re not seeing it slow down at all,” she said.
Crime is easy to hype and sensationalize. But the problem with this response is that it wasn’t dramatic enough. Violent crime is doing a lot more than not slowing down – it’s escalating, in rapid and unusual ways that Seattle seems unprepared for, despite a renewed focus on fighting it.
