Seattle’s Gang of Four changed the face of the city in the 1960s through the 80s by bringing four ethnic groups together in the battles against city power brokers, over development, poverty, fishing rights, and gentrification.

Gang of Four. Self-aggrandizement. Author "Uncle Bob" Santos (third from left) happens to be one of the GoF himself, as is current Metropolitan King County Councilmember Larry Gossett (fourth from left), who is running for re-election for the nth time since 1993. Gossett gives his buddy Santos video airtime on his taxpayer-funded webpage on the King County website: http://www.kingcounty.gov/Gossett.aspx.
