We offer an intersectional analysis of public-health governmentality and its constitutive elements during a moral panic around venereal-disease in Seattle, Washington during World War II. Tracing how norms of gender, sexuality, race and class were instilled through urban public health practices, we highlight the importance of the local state’s spatial ontologies and imaginations in connecting the two spatial scales of governmentality: anatamo-politics and bio-politics. By doing this, we extend current work on governmentality in geography. We conclude that geographical imaginations and ontological framings by the local state -- particularly public health authorities -- are important aspects of the control of populations and construction of identities.
