Wow, fantastic story! I was aware the UW had used a bunker in West Seattle for early hematology research / early treatment (I received a bone marrow transplant in 2010 at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and have looked into transplant history) but was not aware of how the bunker came to be there. Crazy to think it is still there! Also, have wondered how Pigeon Point got the name.
