We added a new page to this website, the story of Bellingham’s 1919 Criminal Syndicalism trial of 4 IWWs. This was the first prosecution under the state’s new law, and it was covered extensively in the Bellingham Herald. We tell the story here, and include some newspaper clippings from this little-known episode in local history.
we have also update our History of the IWW in Northwest Washington page.
