Luckily for us, after his dismissal from the Seattle Police Department’s Dry Squad (and subsequent Federal Court arraignment) former Lt. Roy Olmsted has stepped up his bootlegging trade! Now, he is using the dock just north of Edmonds to bring in vessels loaded with Canadian whiskey to satisfy the needs of local residents.  He even has manifests marked “Mexico” to avoid the $20 per case tax charged by the Canadian government.  This has allowed him to sell 30% less than the competition, putting the rest of the local bootleggers out of business.

 

Roy Olmsted has all sorts of people involved in his ad hoc business: office workers, bookkeepers, collectors, salesmen, dispatchers, warehouse workers, mechanics, drivers, rum-running crews, even legal counsel.  He has finessed a great relationship with a number of important people as well on the Seattle scene, including the Mayor!

 

  –  Those who are part of the Canadian Whiskey Running (road rally) will meet at 11 am (location will be emailed to you upon registration) to collect the instructions from the local coordinator on our next move.  Both the Driver and Navigator will need to be in the vehicle when you pull up.  

 

  –  Those who are going to act as the Covert Members (antique shoppers) to avert the Dry Squad’s attention, will meet at 11 am (location will be emailed to you upon registration) to begin antique and garment shopping.  Feel free to explore any paraphernalia related to alcohol when shopping.  It will only confuse the police further….

 

Our day’s plan will be interrupted at 2pm when we gather at a restaurant – the favorite location of many undiscovered Bootleggers.  You will be served a late lunch, coffee/tea/soda and dessert, tax & tip included.  If you wish to order your own hooch from the waiter, it will be fine.  He’s one of us and will happily provide you with your own bill for the alcohol.

 

Cameras are welcome.  It’ll record our happy times together before anyone is arrested….
