Oh, wait! Open carry and carry in Seattle Park's is allowed, how can this be?

Crime was down by 12 percent citywide through May, the Seattle Police Department has reported.

The police department this week updated its crime statistics for the first five months of the year.

The drop in overall crime continues a downward trend from 2010, according to police.

Through May of this year, violent crime was down 2 percent compared with the same period a year ago. Of violent crime, only aggravated assaults showed an increase.
