In addition, they were also the primary retailer: the state operated 167 stores, while 163 stores were operated by private businesses who contracted with the state for a commission on the sales. These contract stores were generally located in either smaller cities or more remote and rural areas, while the state stores were typically located in larger, more populated areas. Because the state was the sole distributor of all spirits, uniform pricing was set so that the price of any given product was the same from store to store no matter how rural or populated the area was. </p><p>Historically, off-premises <a href="/wiki/Blue_laws_in_the_United_States" title="Blue laws in the United States">Sunday sales</a> of spirits were banned, and all liquor stores were closed. Consumers still had the option of purchasing beer or wine from grocery stores or on-premises spirits from bars and restaurants. In 2005, the state began allowing off-premises spirits sales in select stores on Sundays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. </p><p>These rigid restrictions were a perennial source of frustration for Washington-based <a href="/wiki/Warehouse_club" title="Warehouse club">warehouse club</a> giant <a href="/wiki/Costco" title="Costco">Costco</a>, which blossomed during the 1980s and 1990s into one of the largest retailers in the United States—and eventually, the world. During its nationwide expansion, Costco became experienced in selling wine, beer, and spirits through its warehouses in other states with much more relaxed rules (e.g., <a href="/wiki/California_Department_of_Alcoholic_Beverage_Control" title="California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control">California</a>). After an unsuccessful court battle, Costco mounted a direct challenge to its home state's alcoholic beverage control system by spending over $22 million to bring Initiative 1183 to state voters—at the time, "the most expensive initiative fight" in state history.<sup id="cite_ref-Allison1_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Allison1-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the November 8, 2011 election, 60 percent of the electorate voted in favor of Initiative 1183, which brought several changes to the liquor distribution and retailing system.<sup id="cite_ref-Allison2_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Allison2-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The most significant of these changes was the end to the state monopoly on liquor sales and distribution.<sup id="cite_ref-Allison2_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Allison2-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The state's exit from retail liquor sales meant that over 900 state employees lost their jobs.<sup id="cite_ref-Allison2_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Allison2-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On June 1, 2012, Washington completed its transition to private liquor sales. Under I-1183, spirits may only be sold in premises of at least 10,000 square feet (929 square meters), generally including grocery stores, warehouse clubs, department stores, and some larger specialty shops. Exceptions to the 10,000 sq. ft. rule are granted for any former state or contract store that has chosen to remain open under private ownership, and for establishments that are in a "trade area" where no building exists that meets the 10,000 sq. ft. requirement. The WSLCB has not yet defined "trade area". </p><p>Under the state-run system, the shelf price included all taxes. Under the private system, as implemented by I-1183, all spirits are to be taxed at 20.5% on the shelf price in addition to a flat spirits liter tax of $3.7708 per liter. Many retailers no longer include these taxes in the shelf price, which has led to some sticker shock and confusion at the register. For instance, a 1.75 liter bottle of whiskey with a shelf price of $15.99 will have $3.28 in sales tax and $6.60 in liter taxes added at the register, bringing the total cost to $25.87. </p><p>In November 2012, <a href="/wiki/Washington_Initiative_502" class="mw-redirect" title="Washington Initiative 502">citizen's initiative 502</a> was passed legalizing the recreational use of <a href="/wiki/Cannabis" title="Cannabis">cannabis</a> and assigning regulation of the cannabis industry to the then Liquor Control Board.

Under state law, people who serve alcoholic beverages at a bar, restaurant, or similar establishment need to possess an Alcohol Server Permit. The division certifies private entities to provide Mandatory Alcohol Server Training (MAST) courses. These private entities, called trainers, offer MAST courses to individuals like bartenders, servers, waiters, and restaurant managers. When an individual completes an approved MAST course, the certified trainer sends that information to the Board, which issues an Alcohol Server Permit (either a Class 12 or Class 13 permit) to the individual. </p><p>A class 13 permit allows a person to carry beer, wine, or spirits to a customer's table and pour wine from a bottle into a customer's glass. A class 12 permit allows a person to pour spirits, make mixed drinks (cocktails), and draw beer from a tap in addition to what a class 13 permit allows. A person must be at least 18 years old to hold a class 13 permit and at least 21 years old to hold a class 12 permit. Any licensed establishment must have at least one person with a class 12 permit on-duty to serve alcoholic beverages to its customers. A person with a class 13 permit must be supervised by a person with a class 12 permit.
