Belltown is noted for various nocturnal criminal activities
such as drugdealing, prostitution, and robbery.
That said its much safer than other inner cities such as
El Ley or Oakland. Plus you can carry concealed if you
choose (and possess a permit, easy to get in WA).
Good nightlife and cheap eats (such as Noodle Ranch!)..
In recent years, Belltown has also become known for packs of black guys randomly targeting and beating the hell out of people, including that old white guy a few weeks ago who they left in a coma.
