“Seattle-It was no audacious heist. While most Seattle residents were happily celebrating George Washington’s birthday with a three-day weekend .... and while local lawmen were occupied at their annual policeman’s ball, thieves calmly blocked off both ends of an alley at 1st & Cherry Streets and set about breaking into the Pioneer Safety Vaults Building.”
— J. Kingston Pierce -- The Georgia Straight
