Enumclaw is one of the safest places to live in the Evergreen State, according to the folks at SafeWise.

The company last week released its Top 50 list, combining independent research with the 2012 FBI Crime Report to arrive at a list of Washington cities that boast low crime rates, among other things. Only communities with a population greater than 5,000 were included.

Enumclaw landed at No. 32 on the SafeWise list. Here’s what the company had to say:

“The lucky people who make their home in this King County town, nestled in the midst of rolling fields and picturesque dairy farms, know there’s no place better to raise a family.

“Known as the base camp to Mount Rainier, Enumclaw is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream, with easy access to skiing, hiking, beaches and just an hour away from catching the Seahawks or Mariners on their home turf. Despite the high visitor traffic, Enumclaw maintains a startlingly low violent crime rate. In fact, the odds of becoming a victim of violent crime in Enumclaw is 85 percent less than in the rest of the Evergreen State.”

Enumclaw was joined on the Top 50 list by a couple of neighboring communities. Maple Valley attained a lofty No. 14 status and Bonney Lake was No. 43.

Topping the SafeWise list was the small eastern Washington town of Connell. Located in the Columbia Basin, the community had just six incidents of violent crime during 2012.

Bonney Lake had a violent crime rate nearly three times lower than the state average. Only six robberies were reported in 2012, even though the city’s 2010 census boasted a population over 17,000 people and it continues to grow.

In addition to police involvement and low incidents involving violent crime, the list commended Bonney Lake’s variety of family-friendly activities, such as Tunes @ Tapps and Bonney Lake Days. The events planned each summer at Allan Yorke Park help create an environment that fosters low crime rates, said Bonney Lake Special Events Coordinator David Wells.

“With more people using the park on a regular occasion, you end up with a more positive environment. When you have fewer people around, people are more willing to push the envelope on causing mischief. Last year when Spike and the Impalers were at Tunes @ Tapps, we had over 2,500 people in the park and not a single arrest,” he said.
