	In an area where Pioneer Square is today was known as the Whitechapel, "Tenderloin District" (Seattle's Tenderloin), the "underworld", the restricted district, or redlight district. The Seattle Post-intelligencer calls the neighborhood "worse than Sodom and Babylon"[1], a 1902 article from The Seattle Republican compares it to "Sodom and Gomorrah, Carthage and Rome"[2]. The neighborhood was home to many communities of color and other poor communities, and unfortunately was known for debauchery and violent crime. Police would regularly conduct raids against dance halls (burlesques) and parlors[3,4].
