Saloons License Debate Shapes Seattle Charter Vote
Council committee under William Corcoran of Seattle Brewing & Malting rejected several new saloon licenses and postponed one backed by Corcoran. The panel warned increasing licenses beyond 115 would delay renewals, risking a mayoral veto, and left one pending for future consideration to reach the 115-saloon limit before the charter amendment takes effect.
