Massage Parlor Reports

[Marko Ramius]

If you watch "Ozark" or see how they launder money in "Breaking Bad" then it might make more sense.

Maybe.

But then I think about how many Mexican Restaurants, Teriyaki Places, Nail Salons, and drive-through Espresso stands there are that likely to have even higher cash turnover than any of these MPs and where the owners would never turn down the free money. And again if you are laundering your money through a place that is already of questionable legality you are running a risk that you don't have to. And the folks doing this shit don't get fat and rich taking chances.

I've been to parlors in every city I've been in here in Washington. They are all identical. Same script, same massage sequence that ends with the exact same tease before the flip, same ads, etc. Every location has the one lady that runs it but who do you think manages them?

I'm not asking specifically, just speculation.

You're asking how the sausage is made? Just enjoy the food, man.

One of the things that kind of bugs me is that the business model doesn't really make sense. We know that the "girls" work for tips and that the owners and managers make most of their money on the house fee. But that doesn't add up to very much. Even if you make very optimistic assumptions about how many guys walk into the airlock every day the gross on a square footage basis isn't very impressive compared to other businesses that you could put in those strip malls. And those other businesses wouldn't have any of the risks that come with operating an illegal business. So it makes the whole MP scheme high risk and low reward, which doesn't make sense given how many of the damned things there are. And the business models for "legit" MPs that charge basically the same house fees make even less sense. Something weird is going on here.

It makes more sense if you consider the other potential Cash revenue streams that might work their way through the books.

[noQUOTE=MarkoRamius;6944767]The "managers" are usually ex MP ladies. They aren't paid very much and most of what they actually earn is what they can extort from the MP ladies actually servicing customers.

I have actually met the "paper owners" of some of the shops in the Seattle area over the years. I say "paper owners" because their job seemed to be to collect and forward mail, sign documents, and not ask many questions. It is doubtful very many of them have much of a clue about what kind of business they are doing this for. Both of the ones I met were older white guys living very modestly.

Who the [I]actual[ / I] owners are, I do not know and doubt I'd like it if I knew.

I don't know how they make it work. I live in Yakima and there are 11 that I can think of here. They aren't busy but you don't open up that many locations in a place as small as Yakima if you aren't making money. There's more of them here than Starbucks.

I've been to parlors in every city I've been in here in Washington. They are all identical. Same script, same massage sequence that ends with the exact same tease before the flip, same ads, etc. Every location has the one lady that runs it but who do you think manages them?

Multiple get ran by an "owner" kind of like a management company. There are multiple of those operating in the state as well. One got shut down a while back that hit Tacoma, Spokane, and some other areas. LE is aware of them and will prefer to target ownership because it looks like a bigger bust when shutting down multiple locations at once. Unless they get greedy and kidnap the person like they did in Renton at one point.

Just beware, Kings has a small parking lot that is very exposed and faces Highway 99, so if you're ok with that or are willing to park else where and walk over.

I just had a solid session with Candy at Shanghai. 8 in looks, long black hair, MM C's, nice body. She leaves on the 30th.

I saw Candy the other day, great service, very cute. As we were going at it in mish, I looked down at her and realized she looked like a young Lucy Liu.

[Shogun Hua]

Yumi at Kings is in her late 40's (probably closer to early 50's), but has a very tight little body and still looks good for her age, she will take good care of you, will go bare if preferred and will give a decent PM if you want. She is my "go to" when I don't feel like taking a chance on a new place or Shanghai is busy.

What about Kings in Lynwood?

After Coco, Angela, Vivi, Amy, it was time to try out Kiki. Was lucky to catch her on her last day and holy shit she was absolutely gorgeous. Great service as usual, no one can beat the bar set by Good. Each and every provider there is fantastic.

After Coco, Angela, Vivi, it was time to checkout their latest addition Amy. Excellent experience and a very down to earth person ready to please. Exceeded expectations and the massage was solid, like really good. Only downside was I'm a non smoker, and she's a smoker so that breath was a little bit tough for me to handle. Other than that 10/10. Good is great. Amy is here until end of month, and will be at shangrila next month.

Shanghai Spa in Everett.

Good Massage Renton.

You can't find anything better than this in our shitty state of WA.

What about Kings in Lynwood?

[Doctor Pepper]

If you are a fan of Yami at Eternity like I am, just a heads up that she will be leaving for 2 months to China on July 1. Candy will be running the shop until she gets back.

[RustyWebfFoot]

Yes Lucky very sweet a little closer to mid 50's but looks great!!

Anyone else try the other Bothell location?

I've been there a couple of times. Ask for Sakura.
