Prostitution accusations untrue, bikini coffee stand's owner says

EVERETT — A police investigation into an Everett bikini espresso stand is about politics, not prostitution, the owner of the stand said Thursday.

Bill Wheeler said Everett police are targeting Grab-n-Go Espresso because the city is trying to push through an anti-bikini stand statute. Wheeler owns at least four bikini espresso stands in Snohomish County.

Five baristas at Grab-n-Go were charged Wednesday with multiple counts of prostitution and violating the city's adult entertainment ordinance after a two-month undercover police investigation.

Investigators said they saw the women exposing themselves, performing lewd acts with whipped cream and posing naked for pictures in the Grab-n-Go at 8015 Broadway. No arrests have been made.

Police allegations that five baristas were charging up to $80 to strip down and flash customers while fixing lattes and mochas are untrue, Wheeler said.

“We're waiting to read the reports ourselves,” he said.

The women who work at the stands each signed an agreement guaranteeing that they will not behave inappropriately, Wheeler said. Employees who are caught breaking that agreement would immediately be placed on what Wheeler described as “administrative leave.”

I noticed that this was a popular story a few days ago, I thought there might be some interest in a follow-up.

I wish they would make some arrests in the Grab and Go prostitution ring that is Washington D,C.

IIRC, they were letting customers grab (for a modest fee), and that's when the trouble began.
