The city's 17-year moratorium on new strip clubs is an unconstitutional restraint on free speech and can no longer be enforced, a judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge James L. Robart ruled Monday that the city's rationale for repeatedly extending the ban lacked merit.
The city had argued that the case was not a censorship issue, but that it was waiting for the state and county to adopt new cabaret regulations. It first imposed a temporary moratorium on new adult cabarets in 1988, after the number of strip clubs in Seattle jumped from two to seven over two years.
Still, if the City Council votes next week to adopt a rule banning lap dances, few new strip clubs may open in Seattle anyway.
The panel is expected to vote on Mayor Greg Nickels' proposal requiring exotic dancers to remain 4 feet from their clients.
The plan has drawn protests from the city's club owners and exotic dancers, who fear it will severely cut into their business.

Ah let me tell you, Seattle can support EASILY another 20 strip clubs, without significantly hurting the few that currently exist. The demand for this entertainment is sooo underserved in Seattle, particularly with all the tech nerds (and not just Microsoft.) The ones who will be hurt, a little in the short run, but not much, will be Seattle's OUTCALL entertainers and Escorts...but the bottom line is, things like Strip Clubs and even great PORN, LIKE American Bukkake, just whet the appetite for MORE, and will help the Escorts in the long run...a affluent tech nerd who goes and drops $300 bucks at a strip club comes home and has a raging hardon, he might reach for the porn, webcam...OR...Call in an order for take out pussy. It's like the economy as a whole, cyclical and interdependent.
