Welcome to the Northwest Gangs website. This website was made to give general information on street gang activity in the 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 not done much research on White Race, Prison or Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs, so therefore you will not find anything about those groups on my website.

Modern day street gangs have been active in the Northwest since the late 1970's and early 1980's. Since then the Bloods, Crips, Surenos and Nortenos 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. Also in many communities are Skinhead, Neo-Nazi, Outlaw Motorcycle and Hybrid gangs.

On here you will find listings of several hundred different gangs throughout the Northwest. Gangs in the Northwest can have as few as 3 or 4 members to a few hundred members. They come from all racial backgrounds such as Blacks, Hispanic, Asian, Caucasian and Native American. The majority of gang members are males, but female gangsters are becoming more common. They can be as young as 10 and as old as 50.
