How safe is Washington for women?

I love DC and consider it one of the safest cities in the U.S. (although this isn't saying much comparatively). I feel perfectly safe living alone (this is due in large part to my buildings security specifically) and walking around at night.

Is Washington safe to travel?

Group travel

Things went quite well. It was a Pokemon tournament, Worlds 2019, so it was a safe neighborhood. There was a nice hotel around the corner, cheap and simple bus transit to the post office and bus station. Starbucks by the convention center! When split with a group of 5, the hotel was super affordable. I think i spent 3-500 on the trip!

I ran the Cherry Blossom 10 miler in April! The experience was amazing I used public transportation, from Dulles airport to the Metro into the city. Food was amazing!
