Seattle Spirit Soars on Hype

BACKSTART

Story



1913. Seattle's last Potlatch for many years was a marketing disaster.
It featured the usual parades and aerial displays but ended with a
rampage through the city streets. A strident Times antiradical
campaign goaded a mob of servicemen to wreck socialist and labor-union halls,
such as the Square Deal Store. Photo Credit: Museum of History and Industry.
