The Black Panther Party (BPP) operated a chapter in Seattle that existed for ten years, and which emerged from unique circumstances that distinguish the city's race relations from those in the rest of the nation. This chapter, which examines the experiences of its Seattle chapter, first describes the Central Area in 1968 before discussing the emergence of the civil rights movement in the city, which began with the campaign for open housing. It then looks at segregation in Seattle, the rise of Black Power, and the formation of the BPP's Seattle chapter. The chapter also considers the BPP's social programs in impoverished neighborhoods in Seattle, including free breakfast programs, food and clothing banks, and other "community survival programs," as well as the party's decision to enter into a variety of coalitions with groups of all races. It concludes with an analysis of the Seattle BPP's golden years and the party's reputation for violence.
