SEATTLE — A strip club located on Aurora Avenue North was declared a chronic nuisance property after a Seattle Police investigation.
In a blotter post on Friday, Police Chief Son Barnes said the investigation found several instances of illegal activity at Club Dollhouse.
The city sent a chronic nuisance declaration letter to the club’s business and property owners on Dec. 8.
The investigation began after SPD received several complaints.
Some of the complaints mentioned underage dancers at the club, sexual exploitation, prostitution, and illegal alcohol sales.
During the investigation, officers found illegal alcohol sales, evidence of sexual exploitation, and two guns sitting in the open on a couch.
A chronic nuisance declaration requires the business to address public safety issues, or the city can fine it $500 per day.
The property owner could also be fined $25,000.
“Business owners who turn a blind eye to criminal activity and human trafficking are not welcome in Seattle,” Chief Barnes said. “By declaring this business a chronic nuisance, we are sending a clear message to this and other businesses that they face real consequences.”
