Roy Olmstead, formerly a Seattle police officer, became the King of Seattle Bootleggers, and Johnny Schnarr, running liquor down from Canada, revolutionized the speedboat industry. Frank Gatt, a south Seattle restaurateur, started the state's biggest moonshining operation. Skirting around the law, the Coast Guard and the zealous assistant director of the Seattle Prohibition Bureau, William Whitney, was no simple feat, but many rose to the challenge"--Page 4 of cover.]]></description><link>https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S102C1662775</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S102C1662775</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Holden, Brad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1662775102</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Bootleggers, Rumrunners &amp; Graft in the Queen City</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781467140201/MC.GIF&amp;client=tacomapublib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=on1076550752</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lost Roadhouses of Seattle]]></title><description><![CDATA["Prohibition came early to Washington State--in 1916--and kicked off an unforgettable era of nightlife. Prohibition went national in 1920 and a network of roadside inns, taverns and dancehalls just outside of Seattle's city limits thrived well into the rockin' 1950s, providing illicit entertainment for those seeking a good time. Spurred on by early car culture and strict liquor laws, places like the Spanish Castle, The Jungle and The Black Cat sprang into being. Commonly called roadhouses, many of these remote outposts existed along two newly-built and parallel stretches of county highways--far from the prying eyes of city police. Fabled speakeasy operator, "Doc" Hamilton founded some of the earliest of these hideaways. Join authors Peter Blecha and Brad Holden as they uncover the fascinating era of forbidden nightclubs."--Amazon.com.]]></description><link>https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S102C2183854</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S102C2183854</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Blecha, Peter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://tacoma.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2183854102</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781467150736/MC.GIF&amp;client=tacomapublib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=on1334128195</image_url></item></channel></rss>
