Great run down of current status
I think that explicit ads on places like bedpage are even more likely ways to get scrutiny.
I've cut back on reviews even on sites where I am free to write all I want. Need to get past this time.
[QUOTE=StuntDriver;7689033]Joy was shut down very recently because they were operating without a business license. The orange notice is on their door. Because massage is technically a medical practice under state law, LE is limited in how aggressive they can be without probable cause and a warrant. So they've started using compliance as their mallet.
Options are limited in Marysville because the city requires a city business operations endorsement in addition to a standard state business license. The only open AMPs there now are Oasis, Lily, and Sunrise. As far as I can tell, they all have valid licenses posted. Lavender was open and compliant but the partner who held the business license is retiring so the store is "offline" until the licensing is all squared away under the new name. The stores are justifiably scared to operate without a valid license because the municipalities are now being heavily punitive for any violations.
I'm told Lavender is reopening soon with a new name once the updated licenses are ready. Local government isn't known for speediness. But it will not be a "big jobs" shop. The official word is "massage only with no extras" at all of the Marysville stores. Moving beyond that may not be possible for most, and an relaxing L1 finish will be the max available for regular customers who establish trust and who don't write online reviews. It sucks, but it's where we are right now. Reviews are useful to LE only as a way to help target potential stores to investigate, but not enough by themselves to get a warrant. But now a single review is enough to trigger a simple unannounced compliance check from a non LE agency. This is happening statewide.
Further, services at many of the Puget Sound shops are shrinking out of fear. Reviews are now being used by LE to trigger compliance inspections from fire and health departments because they don't need warrants. Many places now ask for no customer reviews.[/QUOTE]
Updating my Diamond Spa review.
Okay, I was wrong about Diamond Spa. L3 is available with the "mamamsan" at least. She is young. Early thirties at the most. An amazing body, very attractive face. She is the mamasan and was continually interrupted for the massage part of the activities. But there were none when we got down to business. Perfect C's or D breast. Probably manmade, but I could not tell.
It was the second time I saw her. The first time was when it was still under the old name. I do not know if it is part of Evertt's new ordinances, but her picture was part of the license publicly visible when you enter. Share some love.
Definitely worth a repeat trip.
Anne at Lucky Star in Lynnwood
Made the drive yesterday and had a wonderful time. Spinner size, great cans, kind of a Chanel / Sindy shapely small body. Beautiful exotic face.
She was super happy and appreciative I came out. Much passion was had. Much laughter too.
Shop not busy when I was there, Anne is working with Reya who is also a very high quality roll in the hay.
Doggy recommended!
Tokyo Lynnwood / Near Raising Canes
[QUOTE=KitWalker1967;7686397]Now that some time has passed and the lines have gone down, I decided it was time to drive south to grab some Raising Cane's chicken and see what all the fuss was about. It was okay I guess, but having lived in Georgia I'm more of a Zaxby's guy. Since I was already in the area and had some time to kill, I decided to go across the street and see what fun I could have at Tokyo Spa. I was greeted by a cougar auntie wearing a sexy dress and heels. Told her I wanted an hour-long massage and she left so I could get comfortable. She gave me a halfway decent massage, intermixed with conversation, then asked me to flip a little earlier than I would have preferred. Opted for head when she asked what I wanted, with her pulling the top of her dress down to show off the twins before she started. Got to give her credit for taking it nice and slow, especially since I never felt her slip the cover on. Allowed my hands to roam all over and I was pleasantly surprised to feel her bare kitty, so there may be more on the menu. Cleaned me up after I nutted, then gave me a second massage before I left and headed home. She shorted me by about 12 minutes, but all things considered she treated me nicely and it was $140 well spent.[/QUOTE]Did a quick knock and talk. Definitely Auntie Level, scantily clad, decent body / face. Actually not bad looking. Something to keep an eye on. If anyone has shareable info please pm or share freely here. Thanks.
