Bar owners and community members celebrated Friday news that the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) would pause "lewd conduct" enforcement and take several other measures following outrage after inspections at several LGBTQ+ venues. According to a news release from LCB, leaders recognized that they understand "the value of these clubs as a safe place for people who often face discrimination, threats, and violence" and will immediately pause "lewd conduct enforcement." The LCB will also halt participation with Seattle's Joint Enforcement Team, which includes the Seattle Police Department, confirm that no violations will be issued in regards to the weekend in question and consider future changes both as a board and in conjunction with lawmakers.
