A friend of mine works in a retail shop in Kirkland, and the shoplifting is rampant. She is often depressed at the end of the day for seeing their work stolen right in front of their eyes and being unable to do anything.
- fzeroracer 3y agoKirkland? Really you say, what neighborhood exactly?
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI would guess Totem Lake, Kirkland isn't uniformly nice.
- fzeroracer 3y agoThat's like, 8 years out of date and even then Totem Lake has never been a bad neighborhood, just a sleepy one. The implication by the poster I was responding to was that Kirkland was somehow similar to South Park or something where it has some sketchy parts.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoHuh? Maybe. When I was in high school in Bothell 30 years ago, Totem Lake was where all the shootings were (bad things going down in totem lake became a meme before memes were a thing). They’ve gentrified a bit since then, looking at: https://www.areavibes.com/kirkland-wa/most-dangerous-neighborhoods/ https://www.areavibes.com/kirkland-wa/most-dangerous-neighbo... It seems like downtown Kirkland and even Juanita (now part of Kirkland) are more dangerous now. I guess it really was just the mall.
- lostmsu 3y agoWell, perhaps you are not looking close enough. Shoplifting is not a loud crime.
- lostmsu 3y agoYou are correct.
