So You Think a Serial Killer Haunts Your Neighborhood? A Guide to Washington's Most Notorious Neighbours (from Beyond the Grave)
Ah, Washington. The Evergreen State. Home to majestic mountains, shimmering lakes, and...apparently, a not-so-charming collection of serial killers. If you've been watching a few too many true crime documentaries and find yourself checking under the bed for Robert Hansen (spoiler alert: wrong state, buddy), then this guide is for you!
The Rogues' Gallery: Washington's Hall of Shame
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
- Ted Bundy: The Charismatic Creep This handsome law student turned out to be a monster, responsible for the murders of young women across Washington and several other states. Fun fact: Ted was a terrible actor, using his charm to lure victims – so next time someone seems too nice, maybe give them the side-eye.
- Gary Ridgway: The Green River Killer This trucker earned his nickname from the area where many of his victims were found. Claim to fame (not really): Holding the record for most confirmed murders by a single killer in the US (yikes).
- Robert Lee Yates: The Grocery Bag Killer This seemingly normal guy had a dark side, targeting prostitutes in Washington. Special skill: Apparently, he could tie knots reaaaally well (not a skill we recommend mastering).
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.

How to Not Become a Statistic (Probably)
- Trust your gut: If someone seems sketchy, they probably are. Don't be afraid to ditch a bad date or avoid that creepy guy lurking in the shadows.
- Buddy up: There's safety in numbers. Hit the gym with a friend, go for a walk in a well-lit area, and avoid wandering alone at night (especially if you're a young woman – sorry, not sorry, gotta be real).
- Be aware of your surroundings: Pay attention to what's going on around you, ditch the headphones for a bit, and keep your phone charged (in case you need to, you know, call for help).
Bonus Tip: If you hear Ted Bundy is your new neighbor, maybe consider moving. Just a suggestion.
