Effective today, the Washington State Liquor Control Board is no longer the sole distributor of liqueurs and spirits!
Since the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, our state has had a monopoly on liquor sales. But the people spoke last fall, and today was the day. Just like in some of our other nearby states, now hard alcohol, like wine and beer, can be found in grocery stores, warehouse club stores, big box stores and the like. I happen to be out shopping at Target this afternoon, and found their sparse but growing liquor section.
Going to have to get used to seeing Jack Daniels and Bacardi while shopping for laundry detergent and dog treats!!
