Holiday sales
The 2009-11 Biennial Budget directs the WSLCB to open most state stores on seven holidays, including New Years Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and Veterans Day. The WSLCB will post a list of open state stores prior to each holiday on its Web site at lcb.wa.gov.
The holiday store openings are part of a series of Budget-directed projects that will generate an additional $16.1 million in revenue for state and local services during the biennium.

Another revenue project is to open nine additional state stores on Sundays. Currently, 49 out of 161 state stores are open on Sundays and all 154 contract stores have the option of being open on Sundays. After July 1, 58 stores will be open on Sundays.
