Seattle harbors a dark and violent history that stretches back to a bloody battle between natives and settlers in 1856. In the early 1900s, Dr. Linda Hazzard stole money from countless patients after starving them to death in her infamous sanitarium. Three robbers opened fire in the notorious Wah Mee gambling club in 1983, killing thirteen people in the state’s deadliest mass homicide. Some of America’s most notorious serial killers wrought terror in Seattle, including the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgway. Ted Bundy’s murder spree started in King County before reaching national attention in the 1970s. Local author Teresa Nordheim exposes these and many more gruesome events that scarred the city.

Free Download Megan Asaka, "Seattle from the Margins: Exclusion, Erasure, and the Making of a Pacific Coast City "
English | ISBN: 029575186X | 2022 | 272 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
From the origins of the city in the mid-nineteenth century to the beginning of World War II, Seattle’s urban workforce consisted overwhelmingly of migrant laborers who powered the seasonal, extractive economy of the Pacific Northwest. Though the city benefitted from this mobile labor force―consisting largely of Indigenous peoples and Asian migrants―municipal authorities, elites, and reformers continually depicted these workers and the spaces they inhabited as troublesome and as impediments to urban progress.
