Lol? Those aren't quantitative measurements of standard of living. They are issues sure but overall our violent crime rate for the state is still significantly lower than the national average. Property crime and homelessness have increased in the majority if not all cities that have experienced similar growth and economic prosperity as Seattle. There's no mainstream party in the US that's been shown to effectively addresses the underlying causes of that...

Regardless of the issues that do exist it doesn't change that overall we do quite well compared to many of our peers especially being a smaller state.
