Seward Park

Mary had been punctual in her comings and goings, and her aunt reported her missing to the police two days later on February 8, 1984.

Over a year and a half later, on September 8th, 1985, a teacher on a field trip found Mary's skull in Seward Park.

A later search recovered her entire skeleton, which was lying near the base of a large fir tree.

No clothing or other items were found with the body.

Ridgway said he believed he killed Mary on a weekday in the morning.

He claimed not to remember where he picked Mary up, but speculated it would have been in the Rainier Valley area.

Ridgeway had been to Seward Park before.

He told investigators in 2003 that he figured it was a good place to have a date and kill a woman.

I'll set up how to arrange that.

I'm also going to do a book signing in person at Third Place Books in Seward Park.

That's on October 5th.

It's a Monday at 7 p.m.

OK, the next one is Aslan Brewing, which has locations all over the city.

But you've been excited about the Seward Park location.

Tell me about that.

Yeah, there are three locations now and they're pretty different from each other.

They've got girl dinner specials.

They have a ton of cocktails.

And then the one that's down in Seward Park, it used to be a pizza place.

They do not have pizza at any of their other locations.
