Safest towns in Washington
Duvall reports the least crime per resident of Washington’s 130 towns with crime figures for 2023–2025; 10 of the 130 grade A− or better on safety nationally.
Crimes reported by each town’s own police, 2023–2025, per 1,000 residents, violent crimes counted four times. The same measure as the Safety grade. For 5 of them one year isn’t in the FBI’s published tables and comes from the FBI Crime Data Explorer or the state’s own reports (named in the row). How grades work

155 towns without figures of their own
These towns of 2,500+ are not on the list because there are no police figures for them alone for all of 2023–2025, from the FBI or the state. In 2025 the FBI’s tables list State Police figures for 0 of Washington’s counties and county sheriff figures for 34; those cover many towns at once and can’t be split by town, so they aren’t ranked here. Their other grades stand; the overall grade uses the rest.

Quick answers
Questions people ask
Which is the safest town in Washington?
Duvall (King County) reports the least crime per resident: 3.25 weighted crimes per 1,000 a year over 2023–2025 (0.34 violent and 1.90 property crimes per 1,000), from its police department’s reports (2023 from the FBI Crime Data Explorer; 2024 from the FBI Crime Data Explorer). Everson (5.60) and Sammamish (5.78) follow.
How are these towns ranked?
By crimes reported by each town’s police per 1,000 residents over three years (FBI figures, or the state’s own where the FBI table lacks a year), with violent crimes counted four times as heavily as property crimes. It is the same measure as the Safety grade on each town’s page. How grades work.
Why isn’t my town on this list?
The list needs 2,500+ residents and the town’s own police figures for all three years. 155 Washington towns of 2,500+ lack them; they are listed above with the reason. Smaller towns have a Safety grade on their page but no rank.
