2023 Annual Pioneer Square Crime and Safety Survey

The Alliance for Pioneer Square is asking business owners/managers to fill out our 2023 Annual Crime and Safety Survey. The goal of the survey is to get an accurate understanding about the impacts of crime and the effects of safety concerns of Pioneer Square businesses over the past six months.

The Alliance for Pioneer Square will use data collected from this survey in our advocacy efforts with City, County, and State representative as we advocate for a clean, safe, and inviting community for all people. The 2023 Annual Pioneer Square Crime and Safety survey will close on June 1, 2023.

Note, Specific survey responses are kept confidential and shared only in the aggregate unless a business owner had a specific story or incident they wished to share publicly.
