Clark: Buying Booze At Costco

Last Saturday found me at the East Sprague Costco along with 99.97452 percent of the residents of Spokane County. I was one of the lucky ones, though. I found this really convenient parking spot near Liberty Lake. It was no mystery what brought such a smash of humanity to Costco. Initiative 1183, which passed last year, went into effect the day before. This initiative put an end to state-run liquor stores that hawked hooch at the jacked-up prices that you’d expect whenever government agencies or the Mafia get involved in sales. Thanks to voters, however, hard alcohol can now be sold at private enterprises like grocery stores, big-box outlets, office lunchrooms, car trunks, church sanctuaries, city editor desks and kiddie lemonade stands. Plus Costco, of course/ Doug Clark , SR. More here.

Question: Are you a Costco fan?
