Seattle weighs lap dancing ban
Seattle is the latest American city to consider a ban on lap dancing. "Several other cities in the region have enacted rules requiring exotic dancers to stay at least 4 feet from customers. But Seattle doesn't have that rule, and strip-club patrons are flocking to the city for a closer encounter. So yesterday, standing in the rain in front of the Sands Plaza strip club, Councilwoman Margaret Pageler said she is proposing a 4-foot rule for Seattle's adult clubs. . . . Dancers, though, have complained they can't make tips without those private, up-close-and-personal dances. Similar complaints are expected in Seattle."
