Delridge other-larceny is the sharpest signal in March 2026 — a fresh spike standing out against a month otherwise defined by declines. No prior combo held the top position coming into this briefing, so this is a clean lead with no recurring backdrop to displace.
Citywide volume is down 9.5% against the prior 12 months — 48,024 incidents against 53,049. The signal mix reflects that broader decline: 22 sustained-shift signals and 10 below-trend readings, against just 1 spike across 20 neighborhoods. Northwest theft-from-vehicle and Greater Duwamish vandalism both ran below trend, reinforcing the pattern of broad, distributed improvement.
The Delridge other-larceny spike is one month old — too short to read as structural. The dominant story in March is still the citywide pullback, with 12 zero-event signals and the vast majority of movement pointing downward. If the Delridge signal repeats in April, it becomes a trend worth tracking; for now, the briefing is largely a confirmation that the multi-month decline holds.
Sustained drops worth naming
No sustained-shift signals this month — every category sits within its trailing-year range.
