If you enjoyed Sons of the Profits you must read Totem Tales of Old Seattle. (I'd lend you my copy but you'd have to help me shelve books to find it.) I gave Kaja a copy some years ago: there was a mass-market paperback from a publisher that went broke a month after they printed it, but there are enough hardbacks around that you may luck into one.
What would be even better is if we could find you some of the Seattle magazines from the 60's. Basically, the top reporters at KING did a magazine with all the stuff they couldn't put on the air. Until the Bullett family had to pull the plug because of the financial drain on the rest of the company it was the muckraking magazine in Seattle. The Weekly and The Stranger only dream of raising that much hell.
