On 1938, a plot to destroy "Miye Maru," a Japanese ship moored in Elliott Bay, was averted. A Canadian named Rolfe Forsyth plotted to sink the vessel in protest of Japanese aggression in China. His co-conspirator had a change of heart at the last minute and warned police of the plot. Upon searching the waters of Elliot Bay, police recovered Rolfe’s bomb—a suitcase containing 369 sticks of dynamite, blasting caps and a rudimentary timing device. Fortunately, the suitcase had leaked causing the timing device to jam and stopping the timer just two minutes before it was set to explode at 1:33 am. Police also discovered Rolfe’s body—he had drowned trying to plant the bomb.

On 1917, a fire destroyed the Grand Opera House in downtown Seattle. One firefighter perished in the blaze and nine others were injured when the roof collapsed, destroying much of the interior. Eventually the blaze was extinguished, although not before the building was entirely gutted. The building stood an empty skeleton for several years before being sold and remodeled into a parking garage. The Cherry Street Garage still stands today on Cherry Street, just off Third Avenue.
