I was born on October 18th, 1982. What was going on in our state around that time?

Question

For those who might be wondering, I'm talking about the state of Washington.

LJ any idiot could do that. I'm looking for people who were alive and living in Washington state at that time.

Thx for wishing me a happy b-day though :)

Answer 1

Notable things that happened in 1982:

-- The body of Wendy Lee Coffield, the Green River killer's first victim, is found. Forty-nine homicides have been attributed to this unknown serial killer.

-- The first pint of Redhook Ale is sold in Seattle, kicking off the microbrew craze.

-- Gaylord Perry became the 15th pitcher in history to claim his 300th career win in a 7-3 victory.

-- Seattle was first called "Emerald City" in 1982, thanks to a contest held by the city, where residents would choose a new nickname. Prior to that it was often called "Jet City" or "Queen City"

-- Seattle station KIRO-TV tests an over-the-air teletext news system.

-- Mayor Charles Royer withdraws Seattle from planning for nuclear war. Royer calls Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) plans to evacuate the population of Seattle to east of the Cascades in the event of a nuclear attack "virtually useless" and states that Seattle should not "lend credence to the dangerous idea that a nuclear war is a manageable emergency" (The Seattle Times).
