I'll just add this here (grain of salt because this is from memory):
Another partner at the politically connected firm [Culp, Guterson & Grader] wanted to run for King County Executive. He got into the gossip columns for hooking up with the girlfriend of a union boss but needed that union boss endorsement.
No worries, the union boss was soon replaced. After he was found dead. In his bathtub. Sprinkled with parmesan cheese.
And I remember that last paragraph exactly. Because who wouldn't?

Seattle union boss murder tied to professional killer
The murder of a powerful Seattle union boss has been solved![?]
Seattle Hotel and Restaurant Employee Union President, Mario Vaccarino, was beaten then drowned in his Shorewood home October 24, 1985.
Now, King County detectives are naming the killer – but caution the case remains open because they believe other, unknown associates remain at large.
Mario Vaccarino was the outspoken leader of both Seattle's Local 8 and the International Hotel and Restaurant Employees Union. Around the time of his death, Vaccarino was leading emotional protests on downtown Seattle hotels and food establishments, pressuring owners to accept unions.
King County detective Scott Tompkins told Halsne, “He lived a contentious life as the president of the union - trying to unionize these shops who didn't want to become union. There were a lot of pickets - a lot of discontent in the restaurant scene back then. There was also some speculation on a national level about possible corruption in the overall union.”
