According to Capitol Hill Seattle:

A man died of an apparent drug overdose inside a room of Capitol Hill sex club Club Z just before midnight Tuesday.

Police were called to a reported drug overdose as Seattle Fire responded to the 24-hour club in the 1100 block of Pike just before midnight. According to radio dispatches, a person at the club was attempting CPR to revive the victim but arriving emergency crews found the victim — a male in his 30s — dead in a third floor room of the building.

One of my early assignments at The Stranger, in 2006, was to write about Club Z on the eve of its planned demolition. The building was about to be torn down and replaced with a mixed-use structure of condos and ground-floor retail. What I saw inside Club Z was kind of gross and definitely druggy, and but what really floored me was what I found digging into the history of the building itself—there's a connection to Japanese internment during World War II.

I fully expected after my piece came out that that place would be no more. Instead, if anything, it seemed to help their business. Club Z got a new sign, foot traffic seemed to increase, and the place never got torn down. As CHS notes: "The men’s bathhouse lists a no alcohol, no drug policy for entry." When I went inside 10 years ago, a stranger offered me meth. I have not been back.

I called Club Z to confirm the details CHS report, but the phone just rang and rang.
