Is Seaside safe to walk?
This page covers traffic crashes, not crime. We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a street is, and busy streets have more crashes partly because more people use them. What the records show: 59 pedestrian crashes were reported in Seaside from 2021–2026, 12 of them serious or fatal (3 fatal). The most were at Fremont Blvd & La Salle Ave (10). 36% involved a driver turning, 19% turning left. 51% of the people hit were in a crosswalk at an intersection.

Source: California Crash Reporting System (CCRS), 2021–2026.
