Crime on North Olympic Peninsula
The crime rate decreased on the Olympic Peninsula from 2007 to 2008. The only exception was Sequim, which had a 108% increase in violent crime from 2007 to ‘08. In 2007 there were twelve reports of violent crimes; in 2008 that number increased to twenty-five. Sheriff Bill Benedict said those numbers were too small to indicate anything: “Because the numbers are so small, they can be skewed.”
Since the beginning of 2009 there’s been a slight increase in crime in both Clallam and Jefferson Counties.
Most of the increase has been in property crimes.
Clallam and Jefferson Counties had thirty major crimes reported for every thousand residents. Throughout Washington State, the rate is forty per thousand.
