Needle to Know: A Crime Brief for the Space Needle Walk
A Seattle walking briefing that maps reported crime between the Lotte Hotel and the Space Needle, then lets a group vote on the route.
Field notes
Needle to Know draws a 250-meter corridor around a downtown Seattle route and organizes the resulting records by offense, date, approximate block, and position along four route quarters. Its saved snapshot contains 142 offenses across 124 reports, with Theft From Motor Vehicle the largest named category at 22 offenses. The page also compares a direct 31-minute walk with a coffee detour estimated at 38 minutes, while explicitly separating historical reporting from a safety forecast.
