In April 2022 when I went to Seattle I arrived very late in the evening, maybe around 11:30 PM or so. I was far too excited to go to bed (despite not sleeping well the night before and flying across the country) so I explored the neighborhood I was staying in and found a 7/11. While Ubering from the Sea-Tac Airport to my Air BnB one of the places we drove past was the Harborview Medical Center and I knew right then and there that I made the right choice in coming (traveling alone across the country is completely out of character for me and I was hoping my husband would talk me out of it).

An interesting tidbit about Bundy’s time at Harborview: he interned there as a mental health counselor from June 1972 to September 1972 with Kathy Swindler (daughter of the former Captain of the Seattle Police Department), who may have introduced him to her good friend Kerry May-Hardy (an unconfirmed TB victim that disappeared from Seattle on June 24, 1972). Wow, that was the longest run-on sentence ever. Additionally during his brief stint there he stole some patient files from Dr. Jim McDermott (who was the losing Democratic primary opponent of Albert Rosellini) with zero repercussions.

Is that the Harborview Medical Center peeking out at me?
