yes, i've heard of a couple of stray bullets in my neighborhood, although I've never personally heard any.
there are absolutely some sketchy houses where there seems to be curbside drug delivery of some sort that obviously makes for potential violence, but you KNOW everything west of MLK and north of broadway is going to be completely gentrified in like, five minutes.
anyway, I always end up bombing vancouver to downtown, or if I wanna get some nature, take fremont over to 7th. that street is one of my favorites and well out of shootout-range.
