Seattle unveils crackdown on hookah lounges
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray announced Monday the city was taking steps to shut all 11 of the city’s hookah bars, the indoor smoking lounges that public officials say are operating illegally and that recently drew attention after the fatal shooting of Donnie Chin in the Chinatown International District.
Murray, emotional at times, acknowledged it took too long for him to act on a problem that existed before he took office in 2014.

He said he became intimately aware of the issue when he met last year with a mother whose son was fatally shot outside a hookah lounge in the International District.
Guess you can't smoke a cigarette in them, but they welcome smoking a joint?
Damn you libs have a mental disease.
No shit the argument from the left was second hand smoke from a cigarette was unhealthy in 50 years.Guess you can't smoke a cigarette in them, but they welcome smoking a joint?
Damn you libs have a mental disease.
You are assuming that there is a brain there than can actually become diseased.
How was the hookah lounge involved with her son being shot? If someone was shot outside a Dairy Queen would all ice cream shops be shut down?
They can hang out on street corners, like hookahs in any other city
WTF?well well, they wanted to put a TAX on every mile a person drove. Just so they could have more MONEY, and you all said Nothing. Now they are wanting to put a TAX on every bullet you all buy, and you say Nothing.
and now look. they are coming AFTER YOU the enlightened Liberal who live there.
It was bound to happen. . Your government: see you as their slaves and YOU allowed it to happen
Yet this guy that died was Chinese...You missed the one time you could be efficient at being a bigot..Uh oh, they're mostly used by African and middle eastern immigrants, so it's obviously race why they want them closed.
