Russia’s Olympic flop sparks Soviet nostalgia
MOSCOW (AP) — Anger and Soviet nostalgia are sweeping Russia after its dismal showing at the Vancouver Olympics, triggering a purge of sporting officials in an effort to prevent another humiliation when the nation hosts the Winter games in Sochi in 2014.
Prostitution charge against bikini barista dropped
EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — Prosecutors in Washington state have dropped prostitution charges against a bikini barista accused of selling more than coffee at an espresso stand.
The Daily Herald reports that Everett Municipal Court Judge Timothy O’Dell approved a deal between Everett prosecutors and the 21-year-old Kirkland woman that would drop the charges if she promised to stay out of trouble for two years.

After integration, African-Americans began to take their business outside the district, and the construction of the Downtown Connector sliced through its heart. The neighborhood began a downward spiral, exacerbated by white flight. Devon Lee, the 31-year-old great-grandson of Pal’s founder – and now the bar’s current owner – says the toll caused by years of crime, vagrancy and vacancy hasn’t been easy to wipe away.
“You wouldn’t have seen the progress on Edgewood if [the city] hadn’t done something with the less-than-desirable elements,” he says.
Just as Cabbagetown and the Old Fourth Ward have attracted new residents and development, the Edgewood-Auburn corridor is also seeing changes. The demolition of Grady Homes and increased police patrols have served to clear out some – but not all – of the panhandlers and street criminals who frequented the area. Likewise, the closing of the nearby Hilliard Street Residence Hotel – dubbed “Pink City” by locals for its reputation as a prostitution pit stop – has helped reduce the stigma of lawlessness the area gained over the years.

EVERETT, Wash. – Prosecutors in Washington state have dropped prostitution charges against a bikini barista accused of selling more than coffee at an espresso stand.
The Daily Herald reports that Everett Municipal Court Judge Timothy O’Dell approved a deal between Everett prosecutors and the 21-year-old Kirkland woman that would drop the charges if she promised to stay out of trouble for two years.
If she fails, she could face prosecution in municipal court for violating the adult entertainment ordinance.
The woman also agreed to testify against four other Grab-n-Go baristas charged last year with prostitution and violating city ordinances. Similar plea deals are expected for all but one who has indicated she plans to go to trial.

Former Everett bikini barista on path to avoid criminal charges
Prosecutors dropped two prostitution charges, and if she stays out of trouble, other charges will be dismissed.
EVERETT — A former Everett bikini barista accused of selling sex at a Grab-n-Go espresso stand vowed Thursday morning to stay out of trouble so she can avoid spending time behind bars.
City prosecutors agreed to stay action in the woman’s case for two years. In return, the Kirkland woman, 21, must not commit any new crimes or violate the city’s adult entertainment ordinance.
If she complies with those terms, the city will dismiss two misdemeanor charges against the woman, including operating without an adult entertainment license and violating the standards of conduct of the ordinance.
As part of the agreement, city prosecutors on Thursday dropped two prostitution charges against the woman.

Strip club to open along I-405; Renton to review adult-use ordinance
…
The strip club an owner prefers the term night club or gentleman’s club due to changing attitudes toward such entertainment has met all the regulatory and zoning requirements to locate in Renton.
…
But, the valley area near the strip club has changed dramatically in the roughly 25 years since the adult entertainment ordinance was adopted, according to city officials. A nearby government agency and a major Renton employer have day-care centers for employees.
…
Law said he’s “sorry” to see the strip club locating in Renton. Generally speaking, from what he has read such clubs often attract criminal activity, including racketeering and prostitution, that continues to flourish despite police crackdowns.
…
Alex Pietsch, the administrator of the Department of Community and Economic Development, said a strip club is not the type of business he would choose for Renton.

As the march toward trial continues, several of the men indicted following a sting targeting Seattle strip club mogul Frank Colacurcio Sr. now say federal authorities have no business policing vice in the city.
…
In the indictment, federal authorities accused the Colacurcios and their associates of racketeering, using interstate commerce to facilitate prostitution, money laundering and mail fraud. At issue are allegations that the strip clubs — Rick’s in Lake City, Sugar’s in Shoreline, Honey’s in Everett and Fox’s in Parkland — were used as fronts for prostitution that allegedly garnered the men $25 million in the preceding four years.
…
Key to the prosecutors’ case, according to court documents, is the payment scheme in which strippers paid $75 to $130 in daily “rent” to the Colacurcio businesses. Such an arrangement is common in Washington strip clubs, which are not allowed to sell liquor to generate profit.
