The PI posted an article yesterday about the State Liquor Board’s decision to reject McGinn’s proposal to extend bar hours past 2am:
Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and other city officials had hoped to make last call later, arguing that law enforcement is burdened by a mass of drunks tumbling out of night clubs and bars in places like Pioneer Square and Belltown.
I know a few Pioneer Square residents who also had problems with the proposal to extend hours, arguing that it was already problematic and incredibly noisy at 2am. A few residents didn’t want those problems and the noise to extend to later hours, such as 3am and 4am.
