You Know Gas Costs Too Much When...

As Seattlest was falling asleep last night we caught a glimpse of a teaser for a local news story that we couldnt stay awake to watch: an escort ad client shot by a pimp for refusing to reimburse the escort's gas money. The teaser included a shot of a two-page spread-eagled escort ad section from one of the local alternative weeklies.

This morning we scoured the internets hoping to find out which alternative weekly was the source, but according to The Daily Herald from Everett the relevant party was an as yet unnamed online escort service.

After speaking with the victim at the hospital, investigators were able to track down the owner of the Seattle-based escort service. The woman, who lives in Montana, confirmed that she had sent "Stacey" to the man's home in the 1300 block of Mukilteo Speedway.

So in the future if you live way the hell out in Mukilteo and you want an escort date from Seattle, you'd be better to go with one who drives a hybrid.
