Any place can be dangerous, especially in parking lots. It is you who need to be aware of your surroundings and take a little bit of self defense classes. Carry pepper spray in your keychain or a small stun baton. Make sure your car has an alarm so no one can get in. Simple things can save your life. If you think moving to Seattle or a suburb like Bellevue is safe, you are fooling yourself. Look at the Bellevue crime map online and you will see the crime rate there. Crime can happen anywhere. It is left to you whether you want to be a victim.
