SEATTLE (AP) - The site of Washington’s deadliest mass killing - the 1983 Wah Mee massacre - will be demolished because a Christmas Eve fire left the Chinatown building unsafe.
The family that owns the 104-year-old building told KING (https://bit.ly/1mV1V6S ) the structure is compromised.
The three-story building was once a hotel with stores on the first floor. The gambling club in the basement was the scene of the robbery and shooting that killed 13 people.
