Synopsis: &“A pictorial history of deadly criminality in the Emerald City, from its founding to the Green River case&” (PioneerSquare.com). 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.
