Horse buggy days loom for Seattle amusements
A June AP report says Prosecutor B Gray Warner will strictly enforce Seattle’s 1909 blue law on Sundays, threatening a return to horse and buggy days. The move, to curb vice and gambling, could exempt theaters per court rulings, but ban Sunday baseball and horse races, leaving horses as a rare remaining activity. Seattle had 160 riding horses and nine riding academies, with 35 stables in 1909, now none listed. speculation on how 400000 people will ride 160 horses persists. Scott Benjamin recalls the old livery era, noting Sunday was the busiest day and reflecting nostalgia with concern over returning restrictions.
