Today we’re announcing a big step for the Seattle Nightlife Initiative. In 2011 our office petitioned the Washington State Liquor Control Board to revise state rules in order to allow local governments to petition the Board for liquor service hours beyond 2AM. If this rule were changed, Seattle would then be able to present proposals to the WSLCB for extended service hours.

The WSLCB is considering our petition, and today we are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a hearing for the WSLCB to get input from the public.

The hearing will be held at Seattle City Hall on Monday, March 12, 2012. Board members will hear brief opening remarks from Mayor McGinn and City staff, followed by an opportunity for the public to testify to the WSLCB.

We invite you to come down to City Hall and share your thoughts on this important issue.

Hearing Details:

Date: March 12, 2012

Time: 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Where: Seattle City Hall, Bertha Knight Landes Room

Address: 600 Fourth Avenue Seattle, WA 98104
