Slot machines reopen in Seattle amid mayoral reversal
Money paying slot machines resume operation after Mayor Humes, backed by Chief Sullivan, ordered them allowed. About 75 devices were active by midnight and as many as 200 expected this week, with annual city revenue from fines projected at thousands. Liquor interests led the push, while council stance remains unsettled and resistant to formal challenge.
