Northwest theft from vehicle fell sharply this month — the most statistically distinct single signal in Seattle's November 2025 briefing. Delridge other-larceny was the prior month's lead category, but with theft from vehicle now posting a clear below-trend move in Northwest, the fresh story shifts to property crime dropping rather than rising. Delridge remains worth watching as the only spike in the top five.
Citywide volume is down 9.9% against the prior 12 months — 48,665 incidents against 54,006 the year before. The signal mix is weighted heavily toward declines: 23 sustained-shift signals and 8 below-trend signals across 20 neighborhoods, with just 1 spike. West Seattle and Lake City both show burglary running below trend, and Greater Duwamish vandalism rounds out the drop-side pattern.
The structural direction in Seattle continues to point downward. November adds to a run of months where sustained-shift signals outnumber spikes by a wide margin, and the 44 total signals across 20 neighborhoods reflect broad-based movement rather than a single outlier. Delridge other-larceny is the one counter-signal to track heading into December.
Sustained drops worth naming
No sustained-shift signals this month — every category sits within its trailing-year range.
