The Wah Mee Massacre

Emash Digital / Wondery
About this episode

On February 19th, 1983 three men entered the Wah Mee Club, a gambling club in Seattle’s International District, armed with guns. Their purpose was to rob the club's patrons and kill everyone inside. The robbers murdered 13 people. If it weren’t for one surviving witness, the killers might have gotten away with it. 

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the deadliest mass shooting in Washington state history. Willie Mak, Benjamin, Ng, and Tony Ng shot 14 people that night at the Wah Mee Club. They thought they had killed everyone inside and made off with $20,000. But, what they didn't know was that one of their victims survived and was the key to bringing the trio to justice.
