Learn all about our town's seedy, boozy, rum-running past with Smith Tower and the Good Bootlegger’s Guild, who'll host three talks on "history, mythology, [and] whiskey." The main subject will be Roy Olmsted, Seattle's most infamous bootlegger. "Beginnings: The Seduction of a Seattle Cop" (Feb 11) introduces Olmsted as a brand-new cop from Nebraska; "The Rise of Old Roy: Seattle’s Most Original Innovator" (March 4) follows him as he takes up bootlegging full-time; and "The Hard Fall: The Feds Fight Back" (April 1) chronicles his downfall. Order a drink and be entertained by this century-old scandal. Don't forget to admire the view.
