While researching another family on Bainbridge Island I came across this article in the Bainbridge Review about an attempt on the life of John A. Drivas in 1950. He had killed Severin Thomason in self-defense two years prior and had been exonerated. The sheriff's office believed the attempt on Drivas' life had been in revenge. The suspect is believed to have stolen dynamite from a controversial bridge project, strung them in a gunny sack, and slid them down a utility wire towards Drivas' house. I thought the article was worth posting here for any Drivas' researchers.

I believe that the John Drivas mentioned in the article is the same John Apostos Drivas born in Greece in 1890 who resided in Seattle in the early 20th century and died on Bainbridge Island in 1980. I have no further information on this family.
