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.

Some of America’s most notorious serial killers wrought terror in Seattle, including the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgway.
