The Casino (Seattle)
[6] The club was run by John and Margaret Delevitti,[7] a heterosexual couple that cared for gays in the city.[7] This fact made the establishment popular, via an underground network of information about nightlife for gays and lesbians,[2] and caused it to be known as something of a speakeasy.[9] It was named in a 1966 investigative article in The Seattle Times as one of the bars which attracted a gay clientele; the Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board had added The Casino to a list of 14 bars "under investigation for homosexual activity", but for unspecified reasons recommended that it be "dropped from observation".[10] Interdisciplinary artist Storme Webber created a 2017 museum exhibition called Casino: A Palimpsest, based on her memories of visiting the establishment with her mother in the 1960s.[11] She experienced The Casino during its history as a diner, but still as an important meeting place for marginalized communities.
