Welcome to the Northwest Gangs website. This website was made to give general information on street gang activity in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.
My main objective is to focus on the youth and young adult street gangs (e.g. Bloods, Crips, Folk Nation, People Nation, Nortenos and Surenos). I have done little research on White Racist and Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs, so therefore you will not find anything about those groups on my website. (If you are seeking info on those groups though, please contact me and I can point you in the right direction as to look).
Modern day street gangs have been active in the Northwest since the late 1970's and early 1980's. Since then the Bloods, Crips, Nortenos and Surenos all made the move up here from California. Also in the 1980's the Gangster Disciple Nation came to the greater Seattle-Tacoma area from Chicago, Illinois. More recently the Vice Lords and Latin Kings from Chicago's People Nation have been showing up in our communities.
On here you will find listings of several hundred different gangs throughout the Northwest. Gangs in the Northwest are very transient, and sometimes do not follow the strict rules one would find in LA or Chicago. Several gangs here are multiracial, and have even joined forces with other gangs, creating hybrid gangs using multiple gang symbols and colors. Some of our gangs have connections to larger gang nations in the United States, some are homegrown with only local connections. We have gangs as small as 3 or 4 members, to upwards of several hundred members.
