Buried slightly below the surface of an investigation into what appears to have been a murder-suicide involving one of Seattle’s most well-known repeat offenders is quite possibly the key to the city’s worsening reputation as place you wouldn’t want to live, much less visit.
It took the death of self-confessed meth addict Travis Berge—a man whose criminal record included 47 arrests and more than 35 convictions, according to KOMO News—and his “unofficial wife,” Lisa, at the city’s Cal Anderson Park. Berge’s behavior, captured partly in last year’s grim documentary “Seattle is Dying,” and his criminal history should have raised red flags all over the landscape that his story would end badly. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
