Seattle City Councilmember Tanya Woo (Position 8, Citywide) shared details of proposed legislation aimed at addressing recent violence related to after-hours nightclubs in the city. Councilmember Woo was joined by victims’ family members, the Director of the SODO Business Improvement Area, and supported by nightclub operators and other stakeholders.

The new regulatory license would have a $250.00 application fee and can be denied or revoked if the establishment has a single shooting incident, or two or more serious public safety incidents within the past year. Penalties for operating without a new regulatory license would be $1,000 for the first offense, and subsequent violations would be a misdemeanor with up to 90 days in jail.
