The Stranger is writing a feature on the state of club security in Seattle. We’re soliciting stories—both good and bad—from local music fans who regularly attend club shows. Because security staff simultaneously function as customer service providers, protectors of patrons and defenders of their club, they are in a unique and often difficult position. Some do a fabulous job, being respectful of well-behaved customers and swiftly dealing with the inevitable idiots. Others abuse their position and alienate (or even injure) club-goers. As you’ve made clear on the forums, many of you have complaints.
To be fair, we want to report both the positive and the negative, so please send your kudos and criticisms to clubsecurity@thestranger.com. Please include a phone number where you can be reached to confirm your story. Deadline for submissions has been extended to Sunday, December 11th.
