A short, violent history of Puget Sound uprisings, protests and riots

We might call Seattle the Emerald City, but the green landscape of the Puget Sound region has been sprayed with blood, shattered glass and tear gas for well over a century. Political protest and civil unrest centered on racism, labor, civil rights, and war and peace have not been uncommon. For the most part, these protests are nonviolent, but sometimes they have featured rioting, police brutality, vandalism, media bashing, shaming and blaming, and death.
