Seattle Adult Entertainment: City considers new tactic to fight prostitution

City considers new tactic to fight prostitution

Kidnapping, rape, robbery and aggravated assault are four crimes commonly associated with prostitution. Beside the violent activity the sex trade brings to the area, it also impacts the quality of life for residents. Parents complain about prostitutes servicing customers in public and discarding used condoms along the routes children walk to school. Some female residents have reported being propositioned by men who think they are prostitutes as they walk in their own neighborhoods.
“That makes me angry,” Hensley said. “For someone to think every woman walking down the street is a prostitute, that needs to change.”
The city assigned the Stay Out of Areas of Prostitution (SOAP) designation to this part of the city. This allows police to arrest known prostitutes for simply being in the area. Hensley said this helps fight prostitution, “but only if we are conducting enforcement on a regular basis.”

Seattle Escorts: Seattle Opera Presents Verdi’s LA TRAVIATA October 17-31

Posted on September 30th, 2009 in Seattle escorts by seattleescortlover

Arguably Verdi’s most popular work, La Traviata is the story of a worldly courtesan struggling to hold on to the man of her dreams. Compelling characters, sensational party scenes, and memorable music combine to make this sumptuous tale of love, strife, and human drama an irresistible classic.
Opening night will feature Italian soprano Nuccia Focile as the glamorous courtesan Violetta. Focile has appeared at Seattle Opera as Mimì in Puccini’s Bohème, Nedda in Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci, and the title role in Gluck’s Iphigenia in Tauris. American tenor Dimitri Pittas makes his Seattle Opera debut as Violetta’s true love, Alfredo, a role he has performed at the Metropolitan Opera and Opéra de Montréal. American baritone Charles Taylor, who made his Seattle Opera debut last season as Amonasro in Verdi’s Aida, sings the role of Germont.

Seattle Escorts: Lewd law up for revision

Posted on September 30th, 2009 in Seattle escorts by seattleescortlover

City spokeswoman Kate Reardon called the revised ordinance part of an ongoing “housekeeping” effort.
“We’re eliminating gray areas, and we’re updating the language to reflect current times,” Reardon said. “We do this all the time.”
While the proposed ordinance does not change city laws, it specifies what lewd acts are and where they are banned.
After Everett police busted several women for prostitution at a Broadway bikini espresso stand, public discussions on the lewd ordinance have centered on these stand-alone stores, where bikini-clad baristas bring in big business.
The women involved in the Broadway stand have been charged with prostitution and violating the city’s adult entertainment ordinance, according to media reports. The city said the lewd conduct revisions are not related to the Broadway bust, which has made national headlines.

Seattle Adult Entertainment: Bikini clad baristas get caught doing more than serving coffee

Bikini clad baristas get caught doing more than serving coffee

Five women, ages 18 to 24, were doing more than just serving coffee at the Grab-n-Go coffee stand in Everett, police said. According to Everett Police, the women were charged with prostitution last week after exposing themselves and allowing customers to touch their breasts for money, which is against the city’s laws.
As well it should be. While it is somewhat understandable what the attraction of these “bikini baristas” is to men, it has never been clear why women would stop by these places and buy their coffee.
Do women actually buy coffee at these coffee stands or are the owners losing half, if not more, of their potential customers by catering to men? They obviously make decent money or more and more of these bikini baristas would not continue to pop up, many of which seem to be showing up around Everett.

Seattle Adult Entertainment: Mayoral candidates debate issues

Posted on September 29th, 2009 in Seattle adult entertainment by seattlesleuth

The candidates also used the debate to highlight the differences between them on issues like annexation, public safety and the city budget.
“We have a real choice this year,” Smith said. “Choice is good. The current mayor and I disagree on just about everything.”
The candidates first squared off on annexation. Marine, who is generally in favor of annexation, said he saw it as a way to control development in unincorporated areas and diversify Mukilteo’s tax base.
Smith, who argued against annexation, said adding areas to the city that don’t share Mukilteo’s “values” — or have incidences of crime and prostitution — could take away from the city’s character. If Mukilteo continues to annex these areas, Smith asked, “are we still going to be a top 10 city,” referring to CNN/Money Magazine’s recent list of “100 America’s Best Towns and Cities to Live In” that ranked Mukilteo as No. 10.

Seattle Escorts: Baristas Face Prostitution Charges for Serving More Than Coffee!

Posted on September 29th, 2009 in Seattle escorts by seattleescortlover

Five bikini-clad baristas in Everett, Washington are said to be facing prostitution charges after police received complaints that they served more than just coffee at an espresso stand.
According to Everett Police Sergeant Robert Goetz, the five women, employed by Everett’s ‘Grab-N-Go’ espresso stand, have been charged with prostitution and violating the city’s Adult Entertainment ordinance.
The police reportedly conducted a two-month investigation into the bikini-clad baristas’ behaviour after they received multiple complains from customers.
And, during the probe, the police found the baristas’ behaviour to have been lewd and inappropriate.
“For extra money these women would expose their entire body. If they were wearing a bikini they would either take it off or at least lower it,” Fox News quoted Goetz as saying.
“There were some allegations… Complaints from our citizens that they were performing whip cream shows between two women,” he stated.
There even was an incident in which the police responded to an …

Seattle Adult Entertainment: Baristas Flash Their Hoohas At The Grab-n-Go, Get Charged With …

Posted on September 28th, 2009 in Seattle adult entertainment by seattlesleuth

I keep the tip jar in my pants
We’re not at the “full body latte” stage just yet, but Grab-n-Go Espresso in Everett, Washington has apparently taken us right up to that edge with their espresso stands where baristas show skin while serving coffee. Now five Grab-n-Go baristas have been charged “with multiple counts of prostitution and violating the city’s adult entertainment ordinance.”
You want to know exactly what they were doing, right? You’re terrible.
Detectives say the women were charging up to $80 to strip down and flash customers while fixing lattes and mochas.
Investigators saw the women expose their crotches, lick whipped cream off their co-workers’ private parts and pose naked for pictures inside the Grab-n-Go Espresso stand at 8015 Broadway, according to police reports obtained by The Herald on Wednesday.
