Description

Crime ran rampant across Central Washington at the turn of the 20th century.


From jail breaks, lethal bootleggers and assassinations in Kittitas County to shootouts and burglaries in Benton County, lawlessness abounded. In Zillah, the Dymond Brothers Gang were known for stealing horses between prison stints. In Yakima, residents reeled in shock over the premeditated killing of a gambler, a riot and the discovery that a respected brewer committed murder. Through it all, sheriffs like Jasper Day tried to keep the peace with mixed success.


Author Ellen Allmendinger recounts the tales that once made this the roughest region of the Pacific Northwest.
