Is listening to murder or true crime podcasts one of your guilty pleasures? You’ll get no judgement from us — after all, the Pacific Northwest has a pretty sinister history when it comes to grisly murders, and there’s no denying that Washington has a bit of a reputation for its serial killers.

If learning about our local unpleasantries is one of your hobbies, mark your calendar for October 8th and 9th. Pacific Northwest True Crime Fest is coming to Washington, and weekend passes are still available.

The Pacific Northwest’s first-ever true crime festival is arriving in October.

For two full days, true crime and murder podcasters, guest speakers, and select vendors will gather at the Green River Conference and Events Center.

According to recorded data, there have been around 75 known serial killers in Washington since 1900.

During this true crime festival, you’ll have a chance to listen to quite a few local true crime podcasts live, such as Murder in the Rain.

Murder in the Rain / Facebook Washed Away, PNW Haunts & Homicides, and Unexplained Oregon will also be present (just to name a few).

Olympia Oddities shares tales of PNW-based crime, paranormal events, and more.

Listening to murder podcasts has become a favorite pastime in recent years — and if you’ve become a fan, this is your chance to learn a lot about local history in one weekend.
