NARRATIVE/STATEMENTS:
Summary
This investigation was initiated due to complaints received. The complaints alleged undue influence by Anheuser-Busch
(AB) over the two Showbox venues located in Seattle. It was also alleged that in order to allow non- AB beer brands for
service at a private event held at the Showbox SoDo, AB would have to approve it and extra payment would be required
from the renters. Both Showbox venues are operated by Anschutz Entertainment Group – AEG Live NW (AEG)
Anheuser-Busch is a licensed industry member with privileges of beer and wine Certificate of Approval and Authorized
Rep for foreign beer; liquor license #352200. AB also operates an affiliated beer/wine distributor license within WA
State that supplies the Seattle area, including the Showbox venues. The distributor license is #409847.
Showbox SoDo is a concert venue located at 1700 First Ave S., Seattle WA 98134 operated by AEG Live NW (AEG).
Wolfgang Puck Catering (WPC) is the retail liquor licensed nightclub for this venue; liquor license #085774.
The Showbox is an entertainment venue located at 1426 First Ave, Seattle WA 98101 operated by AEG Live NW (AEG).
Wolfgang Puck Catering (WPC) is the retail liquor licensed nightclub for this venue; liquor license #076475.
The investigation found arrangements between AB and AEG resulted in undue influence over the operations of WPC
retailer. Officers found an exclusive sponsorship agreement between AB and AEG for events held at the Showboxes and
an exclusive liquor catering agreement between AEG and WPC. WPC catered liquor at the Showbox venues under
conditions outlined by AEG. AEG events and advertising were conducted under conditions outlined by AB to include the
display of AB logo signage at the retail liquor licensed premises. During physical inspections, officers found beer
products offered for sale at the Showbox venues were either AB liquor manufactured, owned, represented or
distributed brands.
Per RCW 66.28.286 (6) "Undue influence" means one retailer or industry member directly or indirectly influencing the
purchasing, marketing, or sales decisions of another retailer or industry member by any agreement written or unwritten
or any other business practices or arrangements. Per RCW 66.28.305, except under 66.28.310 no industry member shall
advance and no retailer shall receive moneys or moneys' worth under an agreement written or unwritten or by means
of any other business practice or arrangement.
Investigation
On 05/05/15 Sgt. John Wilson made an entry in the electronic notebook reference an e-mail contact made with
Showbox SoDo manager Jessica Hauflaire regarding minors. According to Sgt. Wilson during this contact Hauflaire
indicated they had a “beer sponsorship” with Anheuser- Busch. She stated that they don’t actually have a liquor license
because they are owned by another company.
On 09/08/15 I posed as a potential patron and sent a request through the Showbox web site using my G-mail account
name and address. I requested information on renting one of the Showbox venues for a private party. I received a reply
dated 09/09/15 from Jessica Hauflaire who listed her title as; Special Events Sales & Marketing Coordinator, AEG
Live/Showbox at the Market/SoDo. I had correspondence with Ms. Hauflaire about rental terms. I asked if there was
food and alcohol service available for the party or if we had to hire my own. She indicated they had a preferred caterer
or I could use my own with a “buyout” fee. I requested a rental agreement form for review. Ms. Hauflaire stated she
did not have a standard rental agreement with the details I was requesting as each event was custom.
On10/03/15 about 1848 hours Officer K. Seltzer and I entered The Showbox lounge and posed as patrons. Officer G.
Otteman remained outside. The bar area near the front was full so we went to the back room. When the waitress came
to take our order we asked what beers were available. She named several brands. I ordered 10 Barrel Sinistor
(“S1nistor”) which she said was from Oregon. Officer Seltzer ordered Ginger Ale and mozzarella sticks and we were
served our order. We later moved to the bar counter and observed a chalk board listing brands carried, all were AB
brands;

I took photos of the beer taps, all AB brands. I told the Bartender I thought there was an event at the Sodo Showbox.
She said there was but it was canceled. I asked if Jessica was there, she said no. I asked if anyone was there who could
provide information on rentals. She said she would check and later told me there wasn’t anyone there. We left at
about 2023 hours.
On 10/06/15 I had G-mail correspondence with Ms. Hauflaire and set up an appointment with her to view the Showbox
SoDo location reference private party rental.
On 10/08/15 at about 0932 hours officer Seltzer and I went to the Showbox SoDo and posed as patrons. We met with
Jessica Hauflaire who showed us the venue. We walked through the ground level room then into the upper level
lounge. The lounge had a full bar set up with multiple beer taps AB brands;
1. Stella
2. Red Hook
3. Widmere
4. Guiness
5. Elysian - Loser
6. Goose Island
7. Budweiser
8. Bud Light
I also observed AB supplied bottled beer brands. I saw one large Budweiser neon sign on the wall. We asked Hauflaire
questions about renting the lounge for a private party. She said they had a preferred caterer at $20 per person or we
could use our own if we did a “buy out”. I asked who was the caterer. She said Wolfgang Puck Catering. I asked if we
needed a permit and she said no. I saw no Miller/Coors beer brands. Officer Seltzer and I asked about beer. Hauflaire
said; this is what they had. We asked if they had Coors and she said no. We said we wanted to have Coors Light beer
and asked if we could get it. Hauflaire shook her head ‘no’ and said they had an agreement with Anheuser-Busch. We
discussed dates for the private party and Hauflaire looked up dates. Hauflaire also gave me the name and contact info
for Wolfgang Puck; Jessica.Bentley@wolfgang.puck.com. During our discussion Hauflaire indicated that the liquor stock
that was there (on the premises) belonged to Wolfgang Puck.
On 11/20/15 Officer G. Otteman provided me with a copy of a sponsorship agreement he had obtained from AB
between AB and AEG Live NW covering the Marymoor Park entertainment venue located in Redmond, WA. This
contract also covered both The Showbox, and the Showbox SoDo. The agreement was dated April 5, 2015 and covered
