Well, if I recall correctly, just a short two or three years ago, some strip / dance club, challenged Seattle's tax on them (that tax they & others had been paying for over twenty years,) the (federal) courts found that to be a tax on their first amendment rights, the City of Seattle loss that case.

My guess, is Seattle is hoping no one will bother to bring a lawsuit, and collect the money that they loss in the other case, at least for twenty plus years.

Hey, they didn't return any of that money, COLLECTED ILLEGALLY.
