Crosscut Seattle
The case of
Rebecca Griego, who was
shot to death by her stalker at the University of Washington Monday, had particular resonance for
Knute Berger. "During my last couple of years at Seattle Weekly, I was stalked and harassed by an unknown person," he writes. "I hadn't planned on writing about this. Somehow, writing about it seemed like it would be a victory for the stalker, giving them attention, gratifying their urge to make my life miserable or uncomfortable. ... I didn't want to give someone else any ideas, either. It's easy to spread misery in the world. All it takes is a phone call, e-mail, or a stamp."
