Monthly offenses reported to the Seattle Police Department, split into crimes against persons and crimes against property, 2020 to June 2026. Total 5,846.

Seattle police recorded 5,846 offenses in June 2026, up 3.0% from a year earlier, across all four NIBRS crime-against categories. The chart draws the two largest: property offenses outnumber offenses against persons by roughly three to one, which is why they are separate lines — a single ‘crime’ line mostly tracks car prowls.

Three caveats, and they matter more than the number. This counts crime reported to police, so it moves with reporting behaviour as well as with crime. It counts offenses, not incidents, and one report can carry several. And the most recent months revise upward as late reports land, so treat the right-hand edge as provisional. The chart starts in 2020 because SPD migrated records systems in 2019 and the counts on either side of that are not comparable.
