I'm from south Seattle this ain't the worse part of Seattle. Go to 12 & Jackson. And them back streets you'll get a taste. I can tell you ain't from Seattle.
I live in Seattle but we don’t really have any hoods anymore. So many of are hoods have been gentrified. I live in the Central District and in the 80’s and 90’s it was considered the hood.
The shittiest places in western Washington are probably Parkland/Lakewood in Tacoma, the Quinault res, and Grays Harbor Co. There are some other methed out shitholes out there in the sticks too, but Seattle is pretty nice now. I live in Skyway and it's pretty quiet up here on the hill these days.
Yes they do, but they also Hoods but it‘s not going trough the Hell like in Detroit or Baltimore, even the Hoods there make me scared how they look like, I‘m happy that the Hoods over here in Cali are very sunny and lively. Shoutout from Westlake LA 🇺🇸
The real "hood" of Seattle is downtown and neighborhoods near it. Huge homeless population. You will see lots of gang bangers, like Bloods, downtown because of all the addicts. That's where I'd go. Pioneer Square and Belltown. There's a Blood set at 3rd and Pine next to a McDonald's. That McDonald's is sorta scary and has cops posted in it all the time.
It's called 3P there in downtown not real Bloods mostly run aways and females and dudes who fell off on drugs we make fun of them for being so bummy in Seattle but plenty people have lost there life in downtown Rest there souls but the Pirus or in the Central District up the hill from downtown in the neighborhoods of the CD East Side Piru & LP also Valley Hood Piru which are connected with the BGDs who still bang BGD and don't believe in the seperation of GD's and BDs known as Duce 8 and East Union connected with the Pirus all the Crips or from the South end and further south the CD kicked out the Crips in the 80s every other hood elsewhere mainly excepted the Crips but not us from the CD
Even the bad areas look beautiful in seattle. Lotta weird shit going on in the streets tho. Dont leave anything valuable in your car or you will come back to it missing and your window busted out.
It looks beautiful but there is fuck all to do there and it’s full of meth addicts and homeless crackheads. Like all Democratic run places, its been destroyed. I lived West of Seattle for 7 years. Back living in England now and haven’t seen one tweaker! Life is so much better. 🥰
I'm from Dallas and my wife is from Flint. We went to Seattle a few years ago stayed a few days and drove to Vancouver. We drove around trying to find the hoods. Seattle is one of the most beautiful city I've ever visit.
Flint is real poverty. Same with most of Detroit. Camden NJ, paterson NJ, baton rouge Louisiana, east st Louis etc. Don't get it twisted west coast hoods can be deceptive but its not extreme overt poverty at all
Yeah I'd have my boy Marcus and felix tell ya the other side of my city and they from that Tango Blast Houston shit lol on top of me currently residing in Memphis ... family from the chi Southside, 87th Halsted , got family in 7 Mile ......... btw Tell your wife to shout them Geto Boyz , Rmc Mike and Yn Jay,Louie ray... Free that Man Rio the young Og
Shoulda went to downtown seattle lol in the heart woulda seen mad crackheads yall think bc it not run down n dirty out here niggas is not dying evryday or sum
This is no joke, you guys. A bunch of nasty anarchy was happening in CHOP and CHAZ in downtown Seattle last summer. Even when I lived there over 20 years ago, I knew someone who had cleaned up his life, only to be kidnapped, robbed, and held overnight by his former comrades.
I grew up on the street at the 1:11 mark ( S.Dakota st. in Columbia city ), my mothers home is probably worth around 800k, the property across the street was selling for over 1 million. Interesting choices made in this video.
@@27acabana ya but it wasnt that expensive 15 years ago and yk it shit used to be hut in Columbia city, now its just been pushed south to renton and kent
Not actually worth that but does sell for that. Beacon hill is still south Seattle and south Seattle is still shitty. But not worth this guy making a video about it.
@@jasongrooming36 South Seattle as whole is not shitty, but like other area's of the city, has some underdeveloped parts and others that simply aren't aesthetically nice and care dominated, such as parts of Rainier ave. I love South Seattle and part of that is sentimental and the other part of the is that are some very beautiful areas.
I know right? 😆. He started driving down Rainier and I was like well this is where i used to live lol (Columbia City) and it was always quiet and peaceful when I was there. I kinda miss it.
It doesn't matter where the place is, if the people are good it's a good area, if the people are bad it's a bad area. Also having respect for each other!
What a surprise. You drove right past my house. Not much murder here but lots of thieves and break ins. It's a great city I'm grateful. Best city in America
@@atbmts6 It has very low crime compared to other big cities. The only downside is the high cost of living. Everywhere is nice. There is a homeless problem but that's all. What is so wrong with it?
@@CasperTheGhost64 for me I hate the politics, the traffic, the weather is awful, there’s nothing to do but hike or go to coffee shops, the cost of living is out of control comparable to NY even, the people are rude and stand off-ish, hence the appropriate nick name Seattle freeze. I’m moving to Tampa in 2 weeks and can’t wait to get out of here lol, everyone has their preferences though. I think this city has gone nuts!!
Charlie, I appreciate you doing Seattle. I was born and raised downtown, in my middle age I still live in the area. I see the comments. There has been a lot of gentrification here and have read a lot of the comments. Like other people who have made comments most of the bad areas here are in the downtown area and south in Tacoma and Pierce County. It seems like regardless of what city/area people love to hate in the comments section of your channel. I hope you liked Seattle it's a great city. This is parts of Columbia City and Rainier it is largely residential and has been cleaned up a lot in the last 15-20 years. Love the channel.
CharlieBo finally made it to the 206! I hope you enjoyed your time here. You should have had Sir-Mix-a-Lot playing while you were "rollin' Rainier." 👍👍
I lived in Seattle for years. This is the only city I know of where the drug dealers sell their drugs Downtown. They refuse to sell in their neighborhoods. Facts!
there's not really any hoods in seattle anymore the roughest area you'll find that is still kind of active is south seattle/skyway area you'll have better luck in Tacoma/lakewood
Seattle hardly has hoods, it's mostly dominated by Amazon Microsoft Boeing and Starbucks. Crime is very low with a high cost of living. You see older homes with RVs parked near them with newer apartments. Also you notice Seattle gets less sunshine than any other cities.
I remember years ago wondering if you'd ever come to Seattle, and figuring probably not, since we don't really have anything that amounts to a real hood. White Center and Rainier Beach are about the closest we have, and those are pretty tame by national standards.
I've never seen a hood full of million dollar homes...Looks a lot different than the hood here in Richmond California or 15 minutes up the road in Oakland or Vallejo.
Cuhz he wasn't in the hood folk🤣 he was rolling through beacon hill. The place been gentrified like a mf. Plus Richmond and valliejo ain't that bad looking neither y'all got million dollar homes too bruh(I've stayed in the bay from union city, valliejo Richmond Antioch, even the valley like sac and Modesto). Oakland is gave the word ghetto meaning folk frfr🤣
He wasn't in Cloverdale, or Henderson, the ville, he ain't even hit up white center in the west and 28th Jackson in the CD. He just went a few seconds on Rainier and then took a left turn to beacon instead of the right towards HP, Cloverdale, Henderson, thistle, Allat😂
@@dontsource7574 there’s nothing hood or ghetto about Seattle gorgeous city, night and day difference from Richmond, not to say there ain’t no real niggas in Seattle because there definitely is, I got real niggas in the south end Hoover crips
These aren’t the hood areas of Seattle, at least not anymore since these neighborhoods like beacon hill are halfway gentrified and have a lot of older families. The spots missed here are more white center or Rainer beach where there are more apartment complexes and old buildings still. The main “hood” issue of Seattle is the large homeless populations that hang around wherever there’s space to camp or missionaries like in Pioneer square
Down town Seattle got the most bums ever in my life ... tents and bums everywhere .. I used to go visted Seattle down town when I was station out there in the navy
There were always homeless here but after Amazon came and we had all these 20somethings making 220K a year the rents went crazy and lots more people were on the streets. Then covid and nobody wanted to be in shelters, it’s the most depressing it’s been.
It’s because this driver doesn’t know what the hood is. This is his perceived notion of it. He even showed the black kids to bring his point home. Never mind the white nerd looking guy walking his dog. He didn’t mean to get that shot.
Ive never heard the word grimey thrown around so much as I just have on watching Seattle videos, which is ironic because Seattle is one of the least grimey cities In America
dude is driving through beacon hill and down south through rainier valley. 98118 is one of the most diverse zip codes in the country, and you will find a nice mix of SE asian, hispanic, and african folks living here...and the median home price is around $750k. one of my favorite parts of seattle as it is not as painfully white as most other areas.
I had the pleasure of spending three weeks in Seattle in summer of 2002 and I would have stayed there if I could. Such a beautiful place. If I can ever get out of England again I will be back.
Again Seattle is nice just stay away from the areas. Why would you wanna leave england I've been there it's very beautiful as well and has alot of things to do rich in history as well not a high homicide rate at all neither its the perfect country
He didnt even go to the hood lol He needs to talk with people who live in these cities so that he doesnt waste his time filming random nice neighborhoods
Charlie, thanks for showing Seattle, my hometown. But our hoods really aren't that hood. Some of our crappiest houses still go for nearly a million. It's gonna be like San Francisco soon!
I came from East Africa and arrived in Seattle in 1994 here is how it changed from 1994 to 2022 and also this is me from 14 years old to 42 years old in 2022 us a Somali. 1. Seattle has never given in to Hoods from the beginning. 2. Seattle has one of the worst traffic jams in the United States it increased in the 2000s it became difficult driving to the suburbs. 3. There used to be a lot of run-down neighborhoods in South Seattle from the '80s and '90s investment start moving back into the city center because of bad traffic. 4. Empty parking lots and run down houses were purchased to be replaced by apartments and duplexes. 5. The real state that was built was only affordable by the rich moving back from the suburbs which was mainly white people mainly working for large companies in Washington such as Microsoft Boeing Amazon. 6. The Seattle light rail came in the early 2000s connecting the airport north and South Seattle and more apartments came and more investment came in poor neighborhoods. 7. Rent went up in poor neighborhoods forcing people to move further south to tukwila SeaTac Kent Federal Way down to Tacoma and some people completely moved out of the state. 8. Rich people start moving in from California and around the United States. 9. When money came in poor neighborhoods the homeless start disappearing in those neighborhoods moving into industrialized areas near downtown Seattle. 10. Let's go back a little bit starting from the 90s a lot of immigration took place in the United States when that happened housing projects start replacing old members such as those who are living in the Seattle housing authority with newcomers mainly consisting of my community the somalis. The Somali community was mainly Muslim and drug-free and the housing projects became a place of tranquility completely transformed wait for me don't rush I would let you know the demise of my community. 😥😥 11. Today African Americans and Hispanics mainly moved further south to Kent Federal Way SeaTac tukwila and down to Tacoma a little bit is still left at skyway and few spanics left a Georgetown. 12. Let's get back to Seattle now the only hoods left in the city is housing projects mainly Seattle housing which is mainly occupied by Somalis Asians and whites. 13. In early 2000s the Seattle housing completely demolished the old homes replaced with beautiful well-designed homes. When that happened Seattle housing authority started to sell the houses to whites coming in from far suburbs. 14. What the heck let's just cut to the chase there is a system in place to completely move poor communities out of the Seattle City limits and we the somalis are the only black people who are left in Seattle soon moving to either Minneapolis Columbus Ohio which has larger Somali community or back to East Africa and the Middle East where we do a lot of investment in UAE Somalia Uganda Kenya Ethiopia Djibouti. 15. A lot of African Americans have moved away from Washington State to the southeast of the United States. 😂😂😂😂 16. I can still recall 23rd and Union and also 23rd and Jackson in the 90's and Tupac Shakur Snoop Dogg music coming out of the cars driving by. If you see this street intersections you will never think there used to be mainly African-American community here. 17. If you think I'm lying about Seattle fighting back with money and investment followed by law enforcement which priced out poor people just take a look at the duplexes homes going up at 9:00 on the left.😥😥😥😥
If youre still in washington you should drive up hwy 99, always been pretty ghetto as least from my memory i'm numb to tweakers now a days theyre a dime a dozen. When i was growing up you couldnt walk 10 feet without finding a tin foil with a burnt oxy 80 on it in Everett, Casino road was pretty bad too
Tacoma,tukwila, Yakima and federal way are abt as hood as it gets in Washington. Columbia city and the south end of Seattle used to be much more hood than it is now
I just moved out of Seattle and I know it well. It looks like you went by demographic economic statistics and guessed West Seattle, and you got a drive through perhaps the best "worst hood" ever. The "worst hoods" in Seattle look great in statistics, but are being overrun by homeless. You should have gone through Ballard, Lake City, and Greenwood in north Seattle, and seen all the tent encampments, the graffiti, and the lunatics, and you would have had a fantastic video.
Was just wondering this morning if CharlieBo could ever visit us in the Emerald City. Have to work hard to find anything sketchy. Lakewood and the Hilltop area of Tacoma will fit the bill. Welcome to you.
man drives by several places ive seen shootings and drive-bys in the middle of the day and yall saying "ohhhh Seattle has nooo crime ohhh seattle sooo safe"
Been waiting to see when you'd come driving around my area haha. Seattle is gorgeous in the right spots, thats for sure. Edit: also just compared to what I've seen of other videos, Seattle doesn't really feel like it has hoods at all anymore, at least not to the extent other states do. Places just get dirty
Yesler T,High Point,Rainier & Henderson or Southend in general,Delridge.CD 1987-94 and into the CD/SE beef era 2000 Those were some of the last crime ridden areas in the Pacific Northwest.These werent a particular street in Yakima,or 2 apartment complexes in Everett..You could get your physical packed out at any given time within that ‘whole areas section’. Nothing now compares to that era.Hilltop was grimey af too,just speakin on these Everett,Tacoma,Shoreline nerds
Lol. Thank you. I can tell very few of the people in these comments was in the cd or the Southend in the 80s and 90s. I lived right by the Safeway on rainier he drove by. Lived on 30th and Washington, a block off of yesler. Lived on 50th and Bangor. Lived a block away from MLK and Henderson. Lived a block off of rainier and Genesee. Lived on 20th and king a block off of Jackson. Beacon hill. Driving up and down rainier and MLK and 23rd through the Southend and the cd was way different in the 90s let me tell you. Catching the 7 right by Franklin. Walking down Henderson NY South shore and rainier beach. Getting gas on mclellon it 23rd and cherry. The Vista, the terrace, Bryant manor, Othello park, judkins. Bro if these people could see Seward park on a Saturday night in the summertime in the 90s?
White Center aka Rat City, now that is more a hood. It’s part of Seattle, more south than it looks like you were in this video. I personally like the dirtiness of a place like White Center, it reminds me of some hoods in my hometown of San Diego.
Even White Center has changed a lot. I live here and love it. Its gentrification is a little different from Ballard and the CD because it’s mostly working class people, so the diversity is still here. People watch out for each other too. Sure, don’t leave your car parked in Westcrest Park if you value the contents, and we got a crazy lady walking around at night smashing store windows, but its bad reputation is mostly a relic.
I am russian seamen from Vladivostok . I was in Seattle 1995 , 3 month , when worked on crab boat JUNO . We fixed a boat in Foss ship yard .. It was a very good time . US # 1 !!!!!!
Hey Charlie great video, you did follow through in some tough Seattle neighborhoods and although we don’t necessarily have a “hood” I would really suggest making a video in either Tacoma or central district
This is not bad at all... actually it looks a lot like Pittsburgh, PA. Pittsburgh’s hoods look way worse but this looks like working class pittsburgh areas.
The real hoods are mostly outside of the city around Kent and Federal way, mostly in the valley or around Pacific HWY and !-5. Also up north between Lynnwood and Everett between HWY 99 and I-5. The only areas in the city limits that are kinda hood are New Holly/Rainier Valley area by MLK Jr Way and Rainier Ave, and Lake City at the north end and parts of Aurora Ave between 85th and 145th.
Pretty much he's driving around my neighborhood South Seattle. Beacon Hill, Rainier Valley, Hillman City and some parts of Central District. It used to be the hood not anymore. They tore down all the housing. Its funny because he actually pass by some of my cousins house @2:50, 3:39 and 5:15. He also pass in the alley behind my Moms house @ 4:45. Thats actually my Moms crappy red fence. My Mom bought that house for $35k now its worth $700k. A few blocks south I bought mine for $75k now its worth 10 times that.
It isn't a hood just because you are afraid to get out of your car. You drove through some great places and missed out on chatting with some good people.
This is awesome! I really enjoy watching videos about the different types of hoods throughout the United States. This is something that maybe would help us to understand the reality of every city in America.

@@fisher1484 It was years ago, but I recall them being on Aurora between Green Lake and Northgate Way.
Seattle looks like a great place to run cross country or for marathon running
All those hills.👌😉
Heh, it's super fun in the winter when the roads are frozen over.
Damn Charlie, these "worst hoods" of Seattle look wicked nice! 😍🤩
Seattle hoods were WAY!! worse in the 80's and 90's...nowadays its all gentrified so of course it looks nice lol
@@robinharkey5573 agreed that shit water down long time ago Lol shit still get real out here tho
@ Edward Miessner
“wicked nice!”? You from Boston... or just a play on words?
I've never seen a hood full of million dollar homes...Looks a lot different than the hood here in Richmond California or 15 minutes up the road in Oakland or Vallejo.
Yeeee Richmond 510 cuddy deep sea
Cuhz he wasn't in the hood folk🤣 he was rolling through beacon hill. The place been gentrified like a mf. Plus Richmond and valliejo ain't that bad looking neither y'all got million dollar homes too bruh(I've stayed in the bay from union city, valliejo Richmond Antioch, even the valley like sac and Modesto). Oakland is gave the word ghetto meaning folk frfr🤣
He wasn't in Cloverdale, or Henderson, the ville, he ain't even hit up white center in the west and 28th Jackson in the CD. He just went a few seconds on Rainier and then took a left turn to beacon instead of the right towards HP, Cloverdale, Henderson, thistle, Allat😂
@@dontsource7574 there’s nothing hood or ghetto about Seattle gorgeous city, night and day difference from Richmond, not to say there ain’t no real niggas in Seattle because there definitely is, I got real niggas in the south end Hoover crips
These aren’t the hood areas of Seattle, at least not anymore since these neighborhoods like beacon hill are halfway gentrified and have a lot of older families. The spots missed here are more white center or Rainer beach where there are more apartment complexes and old buildings still. The main “hood” issue of Seattle is the large homeless populations that hang around wherever there’s space to camp or missionaries like in Pioneer square
👍🏼
Down town Seattle got the most bums ever in my life ... tents and bums everywhere .. I used to go visted Seattle down town when I was station out there in the navy
Take care sailor. We do care :)
There were always homeless here but after Amazon came and we had all these 20somethings making 220K a year the rents went crazy and lots more people were on the streets. Then covid and nobody wanted to be in shelters, it’s the most depressing it’s been.
Seattle is sweet af
It used to be.
Seattle? No. The surrounding cities are better.
The average cost of a house here is 700k so trying to act tough all day is not in our best intentions... 💯
It ain’t sweet just cuz it got nice buildings and shit don’t mean shit don’t go down
@@matthewjames206 still is
I live in Seattle, these hoods are expensive!
This is like paradise compared to most places you ventured Charlie!
Seattle hoods are all gentrified now so of course it doesn't look that bad
Seattle “hoods” took me from rags to riches. No complaints here. Retired before 40 thanks to NW real estate.
00:56 definitely ain't hood 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣 I was like what an introduction to the hood
So south central isnt a hood either then since they got double and tripple story houses
It’s because this driver doesn’t know what the hood is. This is his perceived notion of it. He even showed the black kids to bring his point home. Never mind the white nerd looking guy walking his dog. He didn’t mean to get that shot.
I go to the that Safeway at 3:25 all the time. That is located in south Seattle. Now some parts of South Seattle can get grimy.
Ive never heard the word grimey thrown around so much as I just have on watching Seattle videos, which is ironic because Seattle is one of the least grimey cities In America
@@matthewjames206 Yes, it is really sad.

@@stakkteam7684 ok
Come to Tacoma bro. Out here on the hilltop. The east side of Tacoma crazy. Its pretty common to see someone swinging a machete around off hosmer lol.
Hilltop not what it once was, it's now very much cleaned up. East Tacoma still bad, tho.
Bro, I lived towards the east side.... until I got robbed and my neighbors started dealing drugs and women. That was when I was like imma head out.
Seattle has hoods? Lol
Duhhhhhh you stupid or what
Hoods exist in almost every US cities...
After watching this video “NO”
💯🔥🔥💯🔥
These are just regular neighborhoods that need the grass cut lol
dude is driving through beacon hill and down south through rainier valley. 98118 is one of the most diverse zip codes in the country, and you will find a nice mix of SE asian, hispanic, and african folks living here...and the median home price is around $750k. one of my favorite parts of seattle as it is not as painfully white as most other areas.
Painfully white 🤣😆
It feels like he's Still in San Francisco with all the hills
The old jets that were torn down near downtown called yesler looked just like sunny dale without them ghetto bars😂 Frisco and Seattle alike
Believe me Seattle is hilly as fuck
SanFran feels a lot more sketchy than Seattle though I must say
The Walmart in renton is terrible 😂
Hi how are You
I've been there multiple times never had a bad time I actually buy some of my fishing lures, I have purchased BBQ Wood and tomato cages
I had the pleasure of spending three weeks in Seattle in summer of 2002 and I would have stayed there if I could. Such a beautiful place. If I can ever get out of England again I will be back.
Again Seattle is nice just stay away from the areas. Why would you wanna leave england I've been there it's very beautiful as well and has alot of things to do rich in history as well not a high homicide rate at all neither its the perfect country
@@dontsource7574 I guess the grass is always greener. :)
This man has driven accross the entire 🌎
Not world but usa
@@kyoakland yes just a figure of speech lol
Have to say, the hoods there look pretty decent and well-kept. Looks better than South Queens and some parts of NYC by comparison.
He didnt even go to the hood lol He needs to talk with people who live in these cities so that he doesnt waste his time filming random nice neighborhoods
This is what the “hood” looks like in Seattle?? 😮 wow. This seriously looks like Silver Lake/Echo Park in L.A..
Seattle hoods were WAY worse back in the 80's and 90's...everything is gentrified now so of course it looks nice
It's not even the hood he's just driving in neighborhoods in Seattle
He didn't really show any of the spots where anybody really be at. He got pretty close a few times but didn't show the hot spots.
Shit look tranquil to me best looking "hood" I ever seen
The Utah video was way more hood than this
Downtown is way worse than this 😂
Yes because of COVID. I have avoided downtown for a year.
@@samiawilliams151 why ?
Downtown is simply gross these days.
@@julienbee3467 Because I don’t want to be assaulted
@@samiawilliams151 wow 😮
Keep voting democrat!....
I get the sarcasm, but Seattle probably isn't your best example 😆
I'm from the flatlands of Chicago, I could do all those hills, mind you I lived in L.A. at a time, but the hills wudnt like these, DAMN!
Yea I’m from Chicago also but lived in Seattle area it’s hills everywhere you stay driving up and down hills all day plus it rains out there non stop
@@Chosen1Crown Yeah bruh, I heard it rains a lot
Charlie, thanks for showing Seattle, my hometown. But our hoods really aren't that hood. Some of our crappiest houses still go for nearly a million. It's gonna be like San Francisco soon!
I came from East Africa and arrived in Seattle in 1994 here is how it changed from 1994 to 2022 and also this is me from 14 years old to 42 years old in 2022 us a Somali.
1. Seattle has never given in to Hoods from the beginning.
2. Seattle has one of the worst traffic jams in the United States it increased in the 2000s it became difficult driving to the suburbs.
3. There used to be a lot of run-down neighborhoods in South Seattle from the '80s and '90s investment start moving back into the city center because of bad traffic.
4. Empty parking lots and run down houses were purchased to be replaced by apartments and duplexes.
5. The real state that was built was only affordable by the rich moving back from the suburbs which was mainly white people mainly working for large companies in Washington such as Microsoft Boeing Amazon.
6. The Seattle light rail came in the early 2000s connecting the airport north and South Seattle and more apartments came and more investment came in poor neighborhoods.
7. Rent went up in poor neighborhoods forcing people to move further south to tukwila SeaTac Kent Federal Way down to Tacoma and some people completely moved out of the state.
8. Rich people start moving in from California and around the United States.
9. When money came in poor neighborhoods the homeless start disappearing in those neighborhoods moving into industrialized areas near downtown Seattle.
10. Let's go back a little bit starting from the 90s a lot of immigration took place in the United States when that happened housing projects start replacing old members such as those who are living in the Seattle housing authority with newcomers mainly consisting of my community the somalis. The Somali community was mainly Muslim and drug-free and the housing projects became a place of tranquility completely transformed wait for me don't rush I would let you know the demise of my community. 😥😥
11. Today African Americans and Hispanics mainly moved further south to Kent Federal Way SeaTac tukwila and down to Tacoma a little bit is still left at skyway and few spanics left a Georgetown.
12. Let's get back to Seattle now the only hoods left in the city is housing projects mainly Seattle housing which is mainly occupied by Somalis Asians and whites.
13. In early 2000s the Seattle housing completely demolished the old homes replaced with beautiful well-designed homes. When that happened Seattle housing authority started to sell the houses to whites coming in from far suburbs.
14. What the heck let's just cut to the chase there is a system in place to completely move poor communities out of the Seattle City limits and we the somalis are the only black people who are left in Seattle soon moving to either Minneapolis Columbus Ohio which has larger Somali community or back to East Africa and the Middle East where we do a lot of investment in UAE Somalia Uganda Kenya Ethiopia Djibouti.
15. A lot of African Americans have moved away from Washington State to the southeast of the United States. 😂😂😂😂
16. I can still recall 23rd and Union and also 23rd and Jackson in the 90's and Tupac Shakur Snoop Dogg music coming out of the cars driving by. If you see this street intersections you will never think there used to be mainly African-American community here.
17. If you think I'm lying about Seattle fighting back with money and investment followed by law enforcement which priced out poor people just take a look at the duplexes homes going up at 9:00 on the left.😥😥😥😥
Really educational
Abd, dont worry....i believe you. Thanks for the info. I have never been in the west. My hood is in Philly....a real hood.
Been an upgrade as far as I can tell. Who wants any kind of hoods anywhere.
Thank you, what a breakdown of the real Seattle truth and history of fact.
If youre still in washington you should drive up hwy 99, always been pretty ghetto as least from my memory i'm numb to tweakers now a days theyre a dime a dozen. When i was growing up you couldnt walk 10 feet without finding a tin foil with a burnt oxy 80 on it in Everett, Casino road was pretty bad too
Go Hawks!
Mariners and Sounders too!
@@matthewjames206 Yes indeed!
@@matthewjames206 mariners are the worst team in mlb history 😑
This "hood" looks better than my current neighborhood in Sacramento lol
I’m really digging Seattle... wonder how it is on Football Sundays when the Seahawks play.
Blue green and noisy at least in my neighborhood. Anything left over from July 4th goes off whenever the hawks score. Tough on the dogs though. lol
Fireworks poppin off all over when they win
Crazy AF
excellent
Bunch of gay hawk fans that’s about it
I love that view, coming into Seattle on a sunny day and seeing the sparkling water in The Sound!
Tacoma,tukwila, Yakima and federal way are abt as hood as it gets in Washington. Columbia city and the south end of Seattle used to be much more hood than it is now
I'm from Oakland but would love To go to Seattle
They tore down all the housing projects from back in the days in Seattle
if this is the "worst" in seattle then compared to other hoods thats a step up!
People are so weird in this city. Nobody wants to acknowledge each other.
swear I noticed this watching sneaker head stores and videos as well. Weird as fuck. like everyone's ashamed or overly shy and stand offish. Hahaha 😆
That's pretty normal in these parts of Washington State. I wish it were different but the metropolitan feel sucks the socialization out of people.
I just moved out of Seattle and I know it well. It looks like you went by demographic economic statistics and guessed West Seattle, and you got a drive through perhaps the best "worst hood" ever. The "worst hoods" in Seattle look great in statistics, but are being overrun by homeless. You should have gone through Ballard, Lake City, and Greenwood in north Seattle, and seen all the tent encampments, the graffiti, and the lunatics, and you would have had a fantastic video.
You don't know Seattle if that's your guess. Pretty much all of this video was in the Southend (rainier valley).
I think some of the outside places like Des Moines and Tukwila have actually become more "hood" like.
Was just wondering this morning if CharlieBo could ever visit us in the Emerald City. Have to work hard to find anything sketchy. Lakewood and the Hilltop area of Tacoma will fit the bill. Welcome to you.
Yay now I can watch this whenever I get home sick
man drives by several places ive seen shootings and drive-bys in the middle of the day and yall saying "ohhhh Seattle has nooo crime ohhh seattle sooo safe"
🤣🤣🤣😆😆🤦🏻🤦🏿 word
It doesn’t look as rough as Chicago
No shit 😂
@@daveymcc1421 where the ghettos at
Best believe its still active though Don't let the look fool y'all" diggthat
Not even close.
Duh dumbass 😂
I learned something today. Seattle doesn’t have a hood.
Should name where you are.
You finally made it to Seattle!!!!! Go to Capitol Hill, Fremont, Queen Anne, and Greem Lake. Nice areas!
Seattle and Portland really turned into trash..
In my opinion this is very nice place.
Been waiting to see when you'd come driving around my area haha. Seattle is gorgeous in the right spots, thats for sure.
Edit: also just compared to what I've seen of other videos, Seattle doesn't really feel like it has hoods at all anymore, at least not to the extent other states do. Places just get dirty
Yesler T,High Point,Rainier & Henderson or Southend in general,Delridge.CD 1987-94 and into the CD/SE beef era 2000
Those were some of the last crime ridden areas in the Pacific Northwest.These werent a particular street in Yakima,or 2 apartment complexes in Everett..You could get your physical packed out at any given time within that ‘whole areas section’.
Nothing now compares to that era.Hilltop was grimey af too,just speakin on these Everett,Tacoma,Shoreline nerds
Lol. Thank you. I can tell very few of the people in these comments was in the cd or the Southend in the 80s and 90s.
I lived right by the Safeway on rainier he drove by. Lived on 30th and Washington, a block off of yesler. Lived on 50th and Bangor. Lived a block away from MLK and Henderson. Lived a block off of rainier and Genesee. Lived on 20th and king a block off of Jackson. Beacon hill.
Driving up and down rainier and MLK and 23rd through the Southend and the cd was way different in the 90s let me tell you.
Catching the 7 right by Franklin. Walking down Henderson NY South shore and rainier beach. Getting gas on mclellon it 23rd and cherry.
The Vista, the terrace, Bryant manor, Othello park, judkins.
Bro if these people could see Seward park on a Saturday night in the summertime in the 90s?
Downtown Seattle looks a lot worse than south Seattle.
Downtown Seattle is the Walking Dead meets the Wire. Especially around 3rd and Pine.
@@matthewjames206 Good one. Couldn't have come up with a better description myself.
The only Washington I know that's active is D.C. and im from bmore. Seattle ain't shit 😭😭😭😭😭
😂
Shut yo bitch ass up DC don’t fw bmore 🤣🤣🤣 y’all got spanked by Ant Glizzy tell YNE Sosa to go slide for his girl. When ya gone Sliiiiiiiiiiiiide🎵🎶🎵
Seattle is not the same do to gentrification. The hood is in the people now a days u can’t just go to a block no more.
Drive through the international district just south of downtown. Homeless tents and needles everywhere.
Near the stadiums is the worst.
@@matthewjames206 it's unbelievable
White Center aka Rat City, now that is more a hood. It’s part of Seattle, more south than it looks like you were in this video. I personally like the dirtiness of a place like White Center, it reminds me of some hoods in my hometown of San Diego.
Even White Center has changed a lot. I live here and love it. Its gentrification is a little different from Ballard and the CD because it’s mostly working class people, so the diversity is still here. People watch out for each other too.
Sure, don’t leave your car parked in Westcrest Park if you value the contents, and we got a crazy lady walking around at night smashing store windows, but its bad reputation is mostly a relic.
No more Sleepless in Seattle.
I am russian seamen from Vladivostok . I was in Seattle 1995 , 3 month , when worked on crab boat JUNO . We fixed a boat in Foss ship yard .. It was a very good time . US # 1 !!!!!!
Hey Charlie great video, you did follow through in some tough Seattle neighborhoods and although we don’t necessarily have a “hood” I would really suggest making a video in either Tacoma or central district
I actually like those neighborhoods. looks cozy
Aye welcome to the 206 from the CD shits gentrified now
Homeboy didn't feel like going to the real hoods today, this ain't bad.
This is not bad at all... actually it looks a lot like Pittsburgh, PA. Pittsburgh’s hoods look way worse but this looks like working class pittsburgh areas.
Seattle saw 52 murders last year. One a week. Still well below most other big cities but a big jump - it usually sees around 19/20 a year.
Everybody wish yall was on the east coast we got Boston I guess
Still got nothing on Camden/Philadelphia hoods 😃
Kaign ave
Those aren't hoods those are slumz
The real hoods are mostly outside of the city around Kent and Federal way, mostly in the valley or around Pacific HWY and !-5. Also up north between Lynnwood and Everett between HWY 99 and I-5. The only areas in the city limits that are kinda hood are New Holly/Rainier Valley area by MLK Jr Way and Rainier Ave, and Lake City at the north end and parts of Aurora Ave between 85th and 145th.
That Seattle city skyline is LIT when you roll up on it wow...
The 1984 movie Street Wise is a great (and sad) movie about downtown Seattle homeless kids, if that’s what people are coming here for.
Pretty much he's driving around my neighborhood South Seattle. Beacon Hill, Rainier Valley, Hillman City and some parts of Central District. It used to be the hood not anymore. They tore down all the housing. Its funny because he actually pass by some of my cousins house @2:50, 3:39 and 5:15. He also pass in the alley behind my Moms house @ 4:45. Thats actually my Moms crappy red fence. My Mom bought that house for $35k now its worth $700k. A few blocks south I bought mine for $75k now its worth 10 times that.
It isn't a hood just because you are afraid to get out of your car. You drove through some great places and missed out on chatting with some good people.
The first 5 minutes looks like a very nice community.
Nothing like Houston or New Orleans!
This is awesome! I really enjoy watching videos about the different types of hoods throughout the United States. This is something that maybe would help us to understand the reality of every city in America.
check out driving thru newark
this is not the hood in sea
I was born and raised in the CD went to TT Miner and Leschi Lived on 27th and Cherry
I’m from Carolina moved to Washington state 5 years ago it’s da best place I Eva lived , beautiful n peaceful!
Damn these are Seattle worst hoods that’s crazy it looks pretty clean
I am from Seattle, we don't have hoods. Lower income neighborhoods are as close as we get to what you see on CharlieBo313's channel.
