I'm wondering if there are any laws/policies/regulations that affect Bellevue and Seattle concerning alcohol and tobacco use. Something like no tobacco use in a public place. Just curious as I will be at Paizocon this year and it's my first time to the state.
In the state of Washington, smoking has been banned from all public buildings, and those smoking outside must be at least 25 feet from any entrances to public buildings.
As for alcohol, hard liquors can only be purchased from state run stores. Beer, wine, and malted beverages are available in most supermarkets. In order to have a hard liquor license, establishments need to make a certain amount of revenue from food sales. So a bar that serves food will likely serve hard alcohol. If you went to a "gentleman's club" you'd be subsisting on soft drinks, likely with a hefty cover charge.

Yeah, if there is some specific type of hard alcohol that you like that is kinda rare then I would suggest bringing it before you get here. You can find what we have at various stores in the area by going to http://liq.wa.gov/LCBhomenet/StoreInformation/BrandSearch.aspx . Other than that, seattle loves it's beers and wines and they can be found all over.
