Pullman rated fourth safest

SafeWise, a Salt Lake City, Utah-based company which compares home security products for consumers, released its “50 Safest Cities in Washington” list this week.

Using FBI crime data from 2012, population and other ranking factors such as unique safety initiatives and security programs, from the hundreds of cities in Washington, they narrowed the list to 50 and assigned rankings according to how the city met their criteria. Pullman ranked as their fourth-safest city in Washington.

“It’s great to know the Pacific Northwest offers so many safe communities and breathtaking scenery,” said Rebecca Edwards, SafeWise security analyst. “With low crime rates and an abundance of community pride, these Washington cities know how to take care of their own.”
