Seattle Strip Clubs: Feisty, intense and smart, friends recall Burien’s Cherisse Luxa

SeaTac Police Capt. Annette Louie said Cherisse joined the King County Sheriff’s Office in June 1976. Her request for patrol duty was denied because she was a woman. She sued the sheriff and won. Cherisse was assigned to the Burien precinct as a patrol officer.
She later joined the Green River Task Force. She kept in touch with the families of several victims of Gary Ridgway, even after the task force disbanded. Suffering from the effects of fibromyalgia, Cherisse very reluctantly retired in 1993.
At the wake, a male cop said he knew that if a burly suspect in a dangerous area ever attacked him, Cherisse would have had his back despite her small stature. “Even if she had to be like Woody Woodpecker around his neck.” Capt. Louie recalled her adventures with Cherisse out of uniform.
There was the time, they went to a “low-rent Chippendales” male strip bar. Cherisse ended up dating the dancer billed as “the Italian Stallion,” who during the day was a lineman for Seattle City Light.
