"I was told that during an unannounced inspection at the Cuff Complex on the weekend of January 26, LCB officers entered with flashlights—owner Joey Burgess said this spooked some patrons into leaving—and reportedly took photos of patrons; the incident was part of raids tied to potential lewd conduct violations (the Seattle Times noted an observed bartender’s exposed nipple), and the Cuff later answered the LCB’s decision to pause enforcement with a cheeky Instagram post." - Harry Cheadle
