The Wah Mee Club at the Louisa Hotel in Seattle’s Chinatown district was known for its dancing, music, liquor and high stakes gambling. By the early 80s, Wah Mee had earned a reputation as one of Seattle’s best clubs for high-stakes gambling. Then in February 1983, three gunmen raided the club and shot and killed thirteen victims. This is the story of the deadliest mass murder in Washington state history.
