The Washington excise board delayed release of the 523 liquor dealer licenses for four years beginning tomorrow.

Officials said no information would be forthcoming until today and that all licenses would be issued with fees refunded to unsuccessful bidders. It remains unclear whether licenses will dip under 30, the legal maximum, with the board signaling potential future reductions as conditions require.
