Title	Portrait of Donald McRae
Notes	Sheriff Donald McRae figured prominently in events before, during and after the Massacre. He remains one of the most puzzling and central figures of the Everett Massacre. While the Wobblies saw him as a villain, his official record was liberal. Elected on the Progressive Party ticket in November of 1912, Donald McRae had an established, credible record as a labor advocate, having served actively with the shingle workers union. When he took office as Snohomish County Sheriff in January of 1913, he immediately undertook a remodel of the upper floor of the county jail to provide space for women and children, safely removed from contact with the male prisoners on the ground floor.
