“The Psycho” who Embraced Tacoma

Season 10 Episode 7 | 7m 0s | CC

Who was the self-professed “Psycho” who inspired Around the World in 80 Days and vowed to beat that record and make Tacoma world-famous? He was an energetic millionaire traveler, writer and activist who believed he could make the “city of destiny” the greatest Pacific port. And he ridiculed “Seattle” by saying it rhymed with “death rattle.”
