On a summer Sunday in Seattle, a gunman opened fire into a crowd celebrating food and community in the shadow of the Space Needle, killing two and wounding five — among them a two-year-old boy. The Bite of Seattle festival, a ritual of civic pleasure, became in an instant a scene of flight and grief. A suspect was taken into custody, but the deeper questions of motive and meaning, as they so often do, lingered beyond the night.
