Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Washington

Almost for sure no. I say almost because unless you can prove that somehow the landlord controls the crime in your area, or that you asked the landlord if the crime in the area was high and he knew it was and lied to you, then maybe you've got a shot at it.

The basis for this answer is simply that in general, a landlord cannot control local crime. Your best bet is to try and find a replacement tenant that your landlord will agree to rent to in your place and then you ought to be able to get out of your lease with little or no financial pain.
