fuckers. I predicted that to happen when privatize alcohol sales went on the ballot. Price is still the same after privatizing. Hmmm, I don't know about that. Quote: Prices, sales climbing Before privatization, Washington had nearly 330 liquor stores owned or operated by the government. Now there are more than 1,600 retailers across the state, and gone are the strict limitations on when liquor can be sold.
The increased availability has enabled liquor sales to spike and then continue on an upward trajectory, despite rising prices.
According to Washington’s Department of Revenue, retailers in the state sold more than 34 million liters in the fiscal year that ended in June, a 22 percent increase from fiscal 2012, before privatization.
A study published last year by the Alcohol Research Group in Emeryville, California, found that the average price of a 750-milliliter bottle in Washington had risen 15.5 percent. For 1.75-liter bottles, the study found, the average price rose 4.7 percent.
The average price of a liter of liquor in fiscal 2017, taxes included, was $25.85, according to the Department of Revenue. But the Alcohol Research Group study noted that prices vary widely by outlet, with some of the best deals found at superstores such as Costco and Walmart. Researchers concluded that “persistent drinkers looking for low prices will be able to find them in certain stores.” Source: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2017/d ... quor-sale/

I remember telling people that privatizing would not lower prices overall and that the referendum material clearly showed that. People laughed and said "competition." I just laughed and quoted Inigo Montoya. Costco and Walmart didn't spend millions on the referendum to lose money.
