Welcome to the Northwest Gang website. This website was made to give general information on street gangs active in the Northwest region of the United States.
The Bloods, Crips, Surenos and Nortenos all came to the Northwest from California in the late 1980's. The Gangster Disciple Folk Nation made the move here from Chicago in the late 1980's and have deep roots in Seattle, Tacoma and a few other cities around the Northwest. More recently the Vice Lords and Latin Kings from ChicagoТs People Nation have been showing up in our communities. Also in many communities are Skinhead and Neo-Nazi gangs.
On here you will find a listing of an estimated 600+ different street gangs. And IТm sure there are more gangs I have not documented yet. Also are links to other gang-related web sites, photo album, forum/comment page and updated gang related news.
This is a work in progress, so things will change periodically. I will be adding more things to the web site as time goes along, but I am designing this web site solely by myself and it may take me awhile to finish everything.
Enjoy the web site and contact me with any questions or comments.
~UPDATE: 05/12/08- I had a minor problem this past week with the photo album, but we got that fixed and it's up and running again. Newly posted are the rest of the Portland and Spokane graffiti photos. Coming in the next few days will be Yakima photos taken on May 10th~
~I've been falling behind on posting news stories, so this week I added 6 new stories to the site. I'm working on improving the web site everyday so hang in there and keep checking back for updates~Email: nw_gangs@comcast.net
