Visit the Most Haunted Places in Seattle

Beneath the world-famous Space Needls and Pike’s Place Market, behind the moody music scene and the booming breweries, are ancient burial grounds and a past of violence and tragedy. Seattly is a city of unfinished business, and once it’s gotten ahold of you, it will never let go.

Seattle Terrors takes you to some of Seattly’s most haunted buildings and places that still resonate with violence, greed, betrayal, and murder. Discover why Seattly is a hotspot for otherworldly activity amidst ancient burial grounds and gold rush prospectors still hunting for lost fortunes.

Post Alley/Gum Wall

In Pike Place Market, just outside of Post Alley, is the infamous Gum Wall, covered in chewing gum. It began with a tradition of theatergoers using gum to stick a penny to the wall for good luck. Soon, the penny dropped, but the gum remained. Next to the gum wall in Post Alley, many ghosts still linger to this day. There’s Frank, an elderly and tall ghost who greets people by name outside the bathroom of a Post Alley club. Then there’s Ghost Alley Espresso, which claims to have the ghost of Arthur Goodwin, one of Pike Place Market’s first managers.

Heaven’s Gate Tile

The otherwordly and nefarious Heavens Gate Cult believed that the Hale-Bopp comet would take them away to the Kingdom of Heaven. Marshall Applewhite and his followers committed the largest mass suicide in US History to board this supposed spaceship. In 1985, during a fundraiser, the deadly cult purchased a tile in Pike Place Market. Could some of their souls be stuck to it like gum under a shoe? Many who have heard phantom footsteps while standing on the tile tend to think so.

Moore Theatre

Many people say the Moore Theatre is the most haunted places in the city – so much so that many ghost hunters have made their way over the Pacific Northwest just to investigate. An old theater built in 1907 was the city’s first entertainment venue. Many people rumor that this is the place where Kurt Cobain overdoes and died. Others say Moore himself still roams the theater with some early actresses who once graced the stage.

Test your bravery, and join us!

What to expect on your seattle ghost tour.

Are you curious about the underlying stories behind Seattle’s ghosts? Finally, you’ll uncover the fascinating layers of Seattle’s history. You’ll meet Chief Seattle’s daughter, Kiksoblu, who still haunts Pike Place Market, daring undertakers who gambled on Seattle’s high death tolls, and the 100 Victorian women imported to Seattle from Boston to balance the male-female population. This fact-based ghost tour educates, captivates, and keeps you wanting more.

Later on, in Seattle’s sordid history, more modern serial killers like Ted Bundy lived here. Gary Ridgeway, the Green River Killer, prowled Seattle’s streets searching for his 49 confirmed victims from the edges of society; he was a hideous and deranged monster – evil to his core. It’s no wonder the dead linger in the shadows of Cascadia City, watching the living and pining for validation, fortune, and fame. Cursed burial grounds and a violent past have left a legacy of restless spirits that prowl in the night, seeking justice, vengeance, and revenge.

Seattle has ghost stories aplenty, from the original owners of the land to the many prospectors killed for their nuggets of Yukon Gold. Underneath dark clouds and never-ending rain showers is a city built on the blood of prospectors, prostitutes, and preachers, with the echoes of their violent deeds left behind for eternity.

Why You Should Book Your Seattle Ghost Tour Tonight!

An Authentic Ghost Tour Based on Facts from history

Even if we didn’t mention a single ghost Seattle is a fascinating place, with a religious start, a rough and ready early history, and a collaborative and progressive recent history. This rich tapestry of history gives these ghost stories a secure standing in time, and the ghost stories bring the historical eras to life in a grim and fascinating way.

Like the cobblestones on the haunted Post Alley, they were ballast in ships from San Francisco, where the rubble from the earthquake was loaded into ships to be taken away. The stones arrived with their tragic energy just after the 1904 Earthquake that flattened much of the city.

We guarantee you will be entertained, informed and just a little bit scared by the stories of horror and haunting that leap out of the pages of the history books.

Entertaining, with a historical twist

Your guides are down to earth local experts, specially trained and deeply involved in the tour. Each adds their personal touch, their favorite stories, and their unique sense of humor. When you have to explain why outside the Market Theatre there is a wall caked in inches of used gum , you can only wonder at the thoughts that go through people’s minds. The City of Seattle at one time removed over a metric ton of gum from the famous gum wall.

Even in the depths of human tragedy and the eternal suffering of ghosts, your tour guides have to keep their sense of humor, and we look forward to seeing smiles on your face as we enlighten and entertain.

Entertainment for everyone

We don’t want to cause any sleepless (In Seattle) nights, especially for any younger tour members, but we do want to give you spooky stories to remember for years to come. A perfect souvenir of your time in Seattle. They say an experience is better than an object, and this experience will stay with your whole group, whenever you think of Seattle, you will think Ghosts!

While standing at Pike Place Market, you’ll hear about the hundreds of empty stalls that were left after 110,000 Japanese Americans were interred in camps for the duration of the Second World War, and the huge influence they had on the culture of Seattle.

Learn New Stories about the Rain capital of the northwest

Perhaps as a young person in the countryside, one might be paid for collecting Varmint. Farmers, landowners, or even the State would reward you for taking away unwanted visitors for helping rid the fields and skies of pests, collecting a nickel for a rat, or a dollar for a Racoon say.

In Seattle, at the turn of the last century, the same system was employed by the City of Seattle, except the unwanted pest was human corpses. The rough and dirty town had a very high mortality rate, form disease, violence, and too much of everything. Undertakers would be paid $50 to remove corpses from the streets, something the residents understandably did not take kindly to. We will question whether, like Varmint hunters, the undertakers might have been a little too enterprising in their pursuit of the bounties?

Even if you are a Non-Believer – fun is guaranteed.

Ghosts appear and respond more to the young, and animals, who don’t have the barriers of disbelief and denial that most adults do. Both ends of the spectrum of believers in the supernatural are welcome on the Seattle Terrors tours. Your guides won’t try and change your mind either way, but we do guarantee that whatever your attitude to ghosts, you will have a good and memorable tour through the spooky streets of Seattle.

It is hard not to believe that the ghost of Kikisoblu , daughter of the Duwamish people’s Chief when Seattle was just getting going, still haunts the Pike Place Market. In her trademark red cape, selling her trinkets and posing for photographs, just like she did after the rest of her tribe was forced to move to reservations away from their ancestral lands. She has been outfoxing police officers and tourists ever since.

In Town and Not Sure of What to Do.

Seattle has many ways to occupy your days. Lots of them are food-related Seattle dogs, Oysters, or Chowder fries , perhaps? Or the SAM, Seattle art Museum , but that closes at 5 pm… To really get the most out of your time in Seattle, you should really consider the Seattle Terrors walking tour, just after dinner, and before the night really kicks off.

Your tour will take you to the places you really should know about in Seattle, but instead of just going there and seeing the nice buildings, we’ll give you the historical scoop and make those facts stick with stories of the resident ghosts and ghouls.

A Memorable Experience.

It’s the ghosts that make Seattle memorable, but as well as hearing the scary ghost tales you also get the history of this fascinating city. For example, the Butterworth & Sons Mortuary on busy First Avenue was a state of the art shop and factory for disposing of the dead. Including the first corpse elevator on the West Coast. The mortuary backs onto Post Alley, where corpses would be piled up after a particularly violent night in Seattle.  The Alley also has its own ghost story. Join the tour to find out her story.

“Fear is the path to the dark side.”

Where to take a killer tour…a serial killer tour, that is.

Here at Haunt Jaunts we have a fondness for tours. (The more macabre the better.) That’s why a certain tour caught my eye recently on Twitter.

I re-Tweeted this post from iHorror:

A Jeffrey Dahmer tour? https://t.co/8xI0pUCJdG #TravelTuesday #travel #tourism #WI #MacabreMonday — Haunt Jaunts (@HauntJaunts) March 14, 2017

Then I shared the link on HJ’s Facebook page, and asked: “Interesting concept for a tour? Or too much?”

My friend Jessica left this comment in response:

An H.H. Holmes tour? Had to check that out.

Because last summer I read a phenomenal book about H.H. Holmes called The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America .

It was kind of long, and very involved. It simultaneously related how Chicago put on the World’s Columbian Exposition  in 1893 and how H.H. Holmes committed his atrocities.

Holmes’s “Murder Castle” was destroyed so it doesn’t stand today, but I can’t help but wonder if whatever resides there now has any activity from the ghosts of his victims.

Well guess what? Jessica was right. There is a tour that might tell me if there’s any activity reported in the vicinity of where the Holmes Murder Castle once stood.

And that’s how we arrived at this point in the post.

So without further ado, here’s seven places you can take a tour of the serial killer variety:

1. Chicago, Illinois: H.H. Holmes Tours (a.k.a. America’s First Serial Killer)

There are a couple of companies who offer a Devil in the White City tour:

• Chicago Hauntings – https://www.chicagohauntings.com/
• Weird Chicago Tours – https://www.weirdchicago.com/

They both claim to be the original tour. Which is about par for the course for Chicago. (In his book, Erik Larson did a fabulous job explaining the psyche of Chicago and her citizens. I think it might be disappointing not to have two tour companies vying for “original” creator of such a tour.)

Also like the book, both tours “delve into the history, mystery, murder and mayhem” of America’s first serial killer, H.H. Holmes, and the World’s Columbia Exposition that Chicago hosted in 1893.

But unlike the book, they physically take you to the places written about. Nice. You get a better idea of what it all looked like, in addition to the layout of the land.

Tours are offered on a limited basis by both companies. (Meaning not every night, and not even every weekend.) So plan ahead accordingly if you’re interested in taking it.

Note: If you’re familiar with Troy Taylor and his American Hauntings, Weird Chicago Tours is him too. In fact, we’ve got his Haunted America Conference listed on our Paracons & Horror Fests page. (Look under “Illinois.”)

You could go to the con and do his Devil in the White City tour potentially! (If there’s a tour offered then, that is.)

2. Hollywood, California & New Orleans, Louisiana – The Museum of Death

I included the Museum of Death in the Vile Vacations guest post I wrote for HorrorAddicts.net. I decided to include it here, because it’s a self-guided tour of the museum’s artifacts, which include “the world’s largest collection of serial murderer artwork, photos of the Charles Manson crime scenes,” as well as videos of serial killers. (I’m presuming videos of interviews with them.)

They have two locations for your jaunting pleasure. For info on their exact locations in each city, vist their website http://www.museumofdeath.net/ .

3. London, England – Jack the Ripper Tour

Jack the Ripper is probably one of the most well known, yet also unknown, serial killers in history. There are many theories about his identity, but he took that information with him to his grave. Which left behind one of the most notorious unsolved crimes, and no justice for his five victims: Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly.

There are all sorts of Jack the Ripper tours in London. We did a daytime one that was included with our Original London Sightseeing Tour: Hop-on Hop-off . It was phenomenal.

However, there are also just Jack the Ripper tours that aren’t part of other packages. Some are at night. Some are a combined ghost tour/Jack the Ripper tour. There’s a new Jack the Ripper Tour with ‘Ripper-Vision’ that uses “…innovative hand-held projectors help to recreate the atmosphere of Victorian London using spooky images, film clips and moving images.” There’s even a Jack The Ripper Happy Hour Tasting Tour that’s a sort of a pub crawl.

There are so many to mention and I’m lazy. It’s easier for me to recommend that you visit our affiliate, Viator, to see them all. That way you can decide which would work best for you if you ever jaunt to London and want to take a Jack the Ripper tour.

4. Los Angeles, California – The Helter Skelter Tour

Scott Michaels has a documentary on Amazon.com called The Six Degrees of Helter Skelter. (It should also be available on Netflix.)

Scott is widely regarded as a Manson Family Murder expert. He also happens to be the founder of Dearly Departed Tours and is the guide you’ll get for this “…3.5 hour tour which visits the sites of the Legendary Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by the Manson Family. In this multi-media tour [he] reconstruct[s] the lives of both killers and victims in the hours leading up to these horrific crimes, details of which are told by the killers themselves through audio recordings.”

Advanced purchase is required for this tour, and it sells out fast. To book it or get more info, visit Dearly Departed Tours http://dearlydepartedtours.com/ .

Note: If you’re fascinated by this, you’ll for sure want to check out our radio show on May 2, 2017. David Oman from the Oman House is going to be our guest. The Oman House was built less than 200 feet from what was 10050 Cielo Drive. a.k.a. The address where Sharon Tate, Wojciech Frykowski, Abigail Folger, Jay Sebring, and Steven Parent were murdered by the Manson Family on August 9, 1969. David has experienced activity from the time he built his house to the present. He even hosts ghost hunt nights where he allows small groups to come investigate.

5. Milwaukee, Wisconsin – The Cream City Cannibal Tour (a.k.a. Jeffrey Dahmer tour)

So come to find out that the Tweet I referenced at the start of this post about this tour? It’s not even for a new tour. It’s been around since like 2012.

Their copy was just too perfect so I have to share it: “This tour is so gruesome, it was banned on Groupon – twice. Walk in the exact footsteps of cannibalistic serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, where he poached 7 of his 17 victims.”

If you’re ever in Milwaukee and want to take it, look up Hangman Tours https://www.hangmantours.com/ .

6. Salt Lake City, Utah – Outer Reaches Tour

Spring through Fall, Grimm Ghost Tours offers a tour that isn’t solely about serial killer Ted Bundy, but does include a portion that’s about him.

The neat thing about the tour is you board a bus to go to the locations and are allowed to investigate too, not just hear ghost stories. Other stops on the Outer Reaches include: The Old Fort Douglas, The Premiere Gentile Gentlemen’s Club in the early history of Salt Lake City, The Old Haunted Library, The Hancock Mansion .

So who knows? Maybe you’ll chance upon Ted Bundy’s ghost on this tour?

For more info, check out Grimm Ghost Tours http://www.grimmghosttours.com/ .

7. Seattle, Washington : Capitol Hill True Crime Tour

On this tour you’ll “investigate cases,” both solved and unsolved, of some of Seattle’s most notorious crimes as your travel through Seattle’s Capitol Hill, Madrona  and Madison Park neighborhoods.

This is another tour that jaunts to serial killer Ted Bundy’s stomping grounds. There’s also cases with names like the “Christmas Eve Massacre” and “Devil’s Dip” to explore. You’ll also get to see Kurt Cobain’s former home and where Jimi Hendrix grew up.

Interested? Check out Private Eye on Seattle Ghost & True Crime Tours http://www.privateeyetours.com/ .

Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, as well as obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.

Speaking of healing, to learn how she channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story .

The Stranger's Guide to the Best and Most Unique Tours in Seattle

Food, weed, music, history, and seattle's creepy underground.

From Savor Seattle to the Seattle Obscura Society, these are the most fascinating, delicious, heady, spooky and downright cool tours of the city. Check out a breakdown of Seattle’s best tourist attractions here .

HISTORICAL & CREEPY TOURS

Bill Speidel's Underground Tour

Learn about how Seattle's original streets were once literal rivers of human waste, how a benevolent prostitute created the public education system, and how a lazy immigrant started the fire that burned it all down in 1889 during Bill Speidel's Underground Tour. More importantly: As you lament the ongoing nightmare of your new hometown's transit imbroglios, it may come as some relief to understand that this city, like so many other pre- and postindustrial American conurbations, was founded and framed by thieves and idiots. The tour was created in 1965 by an ambitious publicist who both understood and typified the maxim of the entrepreneurial huckster: If you've got a giant pile of garbage that you can't dispose of, put a sign on it that says "Private Property. Admission $18." (PRO TIP: The tours are guided by genial and talented performers. Slip yours an extra $10, and they may take you down to the sub-sub-basement. I obviously can't disclose what they keep down there, but it lends a whole new historical context to the term "beast mode.")

This company also offers the adults-only " Underworld Tour " and the " Underground Paranormal Experience ." (SEAN NELSON)

Tours start on the hour daily, 9 am-7 pm April-September, 10 am-6 pm October-March; $22

Monday-Saturday, $30/$35

Spooked in Seattle

"Real ghost hunters" guide these 90-minute tours of what they claim to be the city's most haunted sites, focusing on "actual paranormal investigations."

Tours range from two to three hours and include anywhere from 12 to 18 food and/or drink samples.

Daily, $42-$140

Seattle by Foot

Learn about the city's most important beverage on Seattle by Foot's signature tour, the Seattle Coffee Crawl.

There's also the private (six-person max) Caffeinated City Tour, and Seattle Kids Tour, a morning stroll to downtown's most children-friendly haunts.

Thursday-Monday, $30/$35

NEIGHBORHOOD TOURS

Chinatown Discovery Tours

The Wing Luke Museum offers two regular tours of its neighborhood—the busy International District, known for its complicated history and incredible restaurants—both of which include admission to the museum itself. On the three-hour Bruce Lee's Chinatown tour, you'll learn about the famous martial artist who lived and was buried in Seattle, see highlights including his first martial arts studio and first practice space, and eat a meal at a local restaurant featuring some of his favorite dishes. Take the comprehensive 90-minute Touch of Chinatown option and you'll learn about the neighborhood's history, sights, and smells from a local guide. On Friday afternoons, carefully curated neighborhood food tours are also available, with different themes throughout the year: "The Rice Stuff" (through June), "Grilled Things and Chicken Wings" (July through September), and the "Twilight Noodle Slurp" (October through December).

Ted Bundy’s ghost still haunts the Northwest

The serial killer's charisma and viciousness continue to be a source of fascination, but the victims' stories sometimes get lost in the hype.

Share story

Not long after it started airing “Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes,” the streaming service Netflix tweeted a message to viewers urging them to pull themselves together.

“I’ve seen a lot of talk about Ted Bundy’s alleged hotness,” the tweet began, “and would like to gently remind everyone that there are literally THOUSANDS of hot men on [Netflix] — almost all of whom are not convicted serial murderers.”

That viewers needed to be reminded of Bundy’s gruesome acts — and his admission to killing at least 30 women — doesn’t surprise true-crime writer Rebecca Morris. But it worries her.

“There’s a danger in romanticizing him and mythologizing him,” said Morris, whose 2013 book “Ted and Ann,” suggests that Bundy killed an 8-year-old neighbor girl in 1961. “Lost in all the Ted Bundy myth and charisma is how vicious his crimes were. Because this wasn’t just … these were very vicious deaths .”

Thirty years after Bundy was executed in a Florida electric chair, the culture is filthy with the killer’s mythology. Along with the four-part Netflix series, there is a full-length feature film for which former teen-heartthrob Zac Efron has been eerily transformed into the serial killer. Called “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile,” the film was well received at the Sundance Film Festival, and was just picked up by Netflix. In Tennessee, a place called the Alcatraz East Crime Museum is hosting a special Bundy display, including his Volkswagen Beetle, letters, cards, photos and a radio given to him by his mother.

And on Friday, Feb. 15, ABC’s “20/20” will air a two-hour documentary featuring three Seattle-area people connected to the Bundy case: Morris; retired King County Detective Bob Keppel, who was the case’s lead investigator; and former Seattle Times photographer Jerry Gay, who spent three hours in a Colorado jail with Bundy, taking photos that are both personal and chilling.

Each of these local players is still grappling with the impact Bundy had on their lives — indirectly or otherwise.

Before she became a true-crime author, Morris was a student at Oregon State University when victim Roberta Kathleen Parks was abducted and killed by Bundy. Keppel, the former detective, still gets calls from law enforcement and the curious about Bundy’s crimes — and knows there are still bodies out there. And Gay, the photographer, holds a discomfiting sort of sympathy for Bundy, whom he saw as a subject first and foremost.

“This story continues to fascinate, like so many appalling crimes, because it poses such a burning question: How could a good-looking, incredibly intelligent, seemingly all-American young man be capable of such horror?” David Sloan, the senior executive producer of “20/20,” said via email. The show includes new information and rarely seen footage.

“The Bundy case reminds people that extreme evil is hiding in the most unlikely places,” he continued. “Pure evil doesn’t always look like Charles Manson. It can be the boy next door. The sheer scope of (Bundy’s) crimes, the number of victims, and their terribly sad endings makes this one of the most memorable crime stories of all time.”

Gay recalled making a connection with Bundy when he photographed him at the Garfield County Jail in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, in 1977.

“He gave himself to me,” Gay said of Bundy. “It was just Ted and I creating moments together. I wanted people to see Ted. And if I had limited my mind, that he was a mass murderer, I wouldn’t have captured Ted. He was an in-depth person and he had certain qualities about him that I liked.”

Now 71 and living in Everett, Gay looks back at the photos and sees that Bundy was “giving a lot of his personality and himself.”

“I think he wanted to take advantage of that and project who he was in these pictures.”

Keppel holds no such empathy. He knows too much, having worked the case from the very start, when he was a brand-new detective sent out to investigate the disappearance of two young women from Lake Sammamish State Park in 1974.

“They kind of threw me in the deep end, but that’s typical of how things were run a long time ago,” said Keppel, now 73 and living in Bellevue. “Give the rookie the worst cases.”

Keppel’s career would be entwined with Bundy until the end of the serial killer’s life, when Bundy wrote to Keppel, offering to help in the investigation of the Green River Killer.

Days before his execution, Bundy would confess to Keppel about a number of unsolved crimes, and the locations of some victims’ remains.

“There was a time when he liked talking to me, because he never told me to get lost,” Keppel said. “I think I had some connections that he was interested in. That I was from here, that I was the investigator on these cases, and he was interested in staying in touch.”

Bundy also wanted to confess to Keppel, simply to save himself: “Someday he would need me to tell other people what he had done, and that he was cooperating with me.” Those other people, Keppel believes, were the Florida governor and attorney general who had the power to stay Bundy’s execution — but didn’t.

“He liked life,” Keppel said of Bundy. “He wanted to stay alive.”

Author Morris has been interviewed four times about Bundy in just the past year. It helps with the sale of her books, she said, “and not to sound callous, but it is a cottage industry.”

She’s right. The books, and now the movies. The exhibit in Tennessee. The pop-culture element, we both agree, is disturbing and maddening, but also inevitable, considering the scope and sickness of Bundy’s crimes.

“He’s like Cher,” she said of Bundy. “Just one name, and everyone in the Northwest knows who he is. But we shouldn’t glamorize him. He did terrible things.”

And while Netflix viewers may have become fixated on Bundy’s good looks, Sloan, the “20/20” executive producer, has found his thoughts staying with the victims .

“It’s hard not to feel for the people who were victimized by Bundy and lived to tell about it,” he said. “The Bundy nightmare happened many years ago, but the impact is still felt by people even today.”

Words to live by, for all the victims didn’t get the chance.

The park is located around 15 miles east of downtown Seattle, directly off of I-90. Ted Bundy likely parked his VW Beetle near the exit of the parking lot for Tibbet’s beach in an effort to lure his victims away from others before abducting them. This is a public park, but be sure to head all posted signs and obey all park workers.

The Sandpiper Tavern

Place of Interest in Seattle, Washington

View Map • Skip To Address

This is the former bar where serial killer Ted Bundy met his girlfriend, Elizabeth Kloepfer.

It is situated at 722 NE 45th Street in Seattle, Washington.

At the time, it was called the Sandpiper Tavern. Later, it became the Rainbow Tavern and the Fusion Ultra Lounge.

In March 2015, the Fusion Ultra Lounge permanently closed after a shooting at the nightclub left two teenagers in the hospital.

Since then, the property has been refurbished and refitted. These days, it is home to a brewery and taproom called Ladd & Lass Brewing.

On Friday, September 26th, 1969, Kloepfer and her friend, Marylynne Chino, were having drinks in the Sandpiper Tavern in the University District of Seattle.

It was Kloepfer's first night out since she moved to the city with her 3-year-old daughter, Molly.

That evening, Chino noticed that a man on the other side of the bar kept glancing over at Kloepfer.

The man in question was Ted Bundy.

Later that night, Bundy approached Kloepfer and asked her to dance. Feeling flattered, she said yes. Following the dance, Bundy went back to sitting at the bar by himself.

For a while, she waited for Bundy to approach her again. However, after some time passed and he failed to do so, she decided to walk across the bar and strike up a conversation with him.

The pair hit it off immediately, and Bundy ended up spending the night at her place. However, his stay that night was "platonic", as she was so drunk that she fell asleep with her clothes on.

The next morning, she woke up to find Bundy making breakfast with her daughter, Molly.

From that point on, Kloepfer and Bundy dated "on-and-off" for about five or six years.

Although Bundy frequently stayed at her place, he continued living at his apartment in the Rogers rooming house . He also saw other women at certain points. For example, Kloepfer told detectives that Bundy dated a coworker from the Mental Health Center for a couple of weeks in 1972.

In December 1973, he became engaged to an ex-girlfriend called Diane Edwards. This engagement occurred while he was still in a relationship with Kloepfer.

His relationship with Kloepfer came under considerable strain in 1974, as he started acting differently and going missing for days at a time. That summer, she noticed that his libido was nonexistent and accused him of having an affair.

Significantly, this was the same year that he started murdering women.

In September 1974, Bundy moved to a new apartment in Utah so that he could attend law school. Although the couple "officially" remained together, their relationship was at a breaking point. During his stay in Utah, Bundy had a fling with a female tenant at his rooming house. At the same time, Kloepfer was also beginning to suspect that her boyfriend was involved in the disappearances of local women.

In 1975, Bundy briefly moved back in with Kloepfer while he was awaiting trial for the kidnapping of Carol DaRonch . However, by that stage, investigators had become certain that he was responsible for the murders of multiple women. As a result, Kloepfer's house was kept under heavy police surveillance.

The Rainbow Tavern

The bar was originally called the Rainbow Tavern. However, at some point in the 1960s, it became the Sandpiper Tavern. Then, during the 1970s, it switched back to the old name.

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile

Elizabeth Kloepfer was portrayed by actress Lily Collins in the 2019 film "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile".

At the start of the movie, Kloepfer and her friend Marylynne Chino are sitting together in a college bar when Chino notices that Bundy (Zac Efron) is staring over at them.

Ted and Liz meet

The film recreated the moment when Kloepfer and Bundy met at the Sandpiper Tavern.

Fusion Ultra Lounge

The Fusion Ultra Lounge was the last bar to exist at this address.

Over the years, it gained a bad reputation for violence and underage drinking. All of this came to a head in February 2015, when two teenagers were sent to the hospital following a shooting at the nightclub.

Following the incident, the city of Seattle requested an emergency suspension of the club's liquor license. Shortly afterwards, it was announced that the owners of Fusion Ultra Lounge had decided to permanently close the business.

"Happy family."

This is a "family" photograph of Liz, Ted, and Liz's daughter, Molly.

Liz and Molly now

In 2020, Elizabeth Kloepfer appeared in the documentary "Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer" with her daughter Molly.

Following Bundy's conviction, she started living under the name Elizabeth Kendall.

In 1969, Liz moved to Seattle from Ogden, Utah. At the time, she was a divorced, single mother who was unhappy, lonely, and struggling with alcoholism.

By moving to a new city, she was hoping to reboot her life and start afresh.

This photograph shows what the inside of the bar would have looked like back in 1969.

Ladd & Lass Brewing

The unit was recently home to a brewery company called Floating Bridge Brewing. However, they were forced to close due to the financial strains of the pandemic. Nowadays, it is occupied by a family-owned craft brewery and taproom called Ladd & Lass Brewing.
