Asked to justify his Focus on the Family bright lights, four-foot rule (Seattle’s new laughing-stock-of-the-world strip club regulations), Mayor Nickels told the Stranger during our endorsement interview last August: “We want the clubs to have the same regulations that our surrounding communities have.”

So, Mayor “24-7 City” Nickels wants us to be more like the suburbs.

P.s. And actually Greg: Redmond, Lynnwood, and Des Moines don’t have 4-foot rules.
