I don’t think Seattle does a great job of this either. The eastside is a suburban sprawl, and most of the parents I know in Seattle are too afraid of the homeless to let their kids go to parks/stores nearby alone.

The East side isn’t Seattle. If you want to include suburbs you also need to include Shoreline and Burien. It depends a lot on your neighborhood. Mine is nice and I see kids running around the neighborhood regularly. As I mentioned this is definitely a thing in Idaho. My brothers and sister all have families and live in areas where kids can have freedom in the neighborhood but away from home.
