It was a murder/suicide at what used to be the bank. Is that now the Rocksport? I had worked with the woman who was killed. I believe it was 1981. Her name was Joyce, her husband’s name was Wally. Can’t remember their last name. They had two young girls. They had split up, I think she had filed for divorce. She worked at a restaurant on Alaska Street. He showed up when she was getting in her car and pulled out a gun. She ran from him and ran into the bank which was under construction to get help, he followed her, shot her then shot himself. I believe her family was out of state, girls went to live with her twin siser. His family was from Seattle.
