Discontent, radicalism, and violence permeated the U.S. Northwest in the early decades of the twentieth century. Tens of thousands of workers migrated for jobs in logging, mining, and fishing - where they found poverty-level wages, crushing hours, and dreadful conditions. The conflict becomes part of a decades-long struggle involving tragedies such as the Everett Massacre (1916), the Seattle General Strike (1919), and the Centralia Massacre (1919).
