It looks like that vice raid in Capitol Hill last night was for gambling after all. According to CHS: "This morning's vice squad bust shut down a secret card room and saloon that has been operating at 11th and E. Pike for 'several years,' a former employee of the illegal casino says."

Early this morning, an ongoing investigation in Capitol Hill resulted in a Seattle Police Department vice unit raid--with a SWAT vehicle, several police cars and, announced via loudspeaker at 12 a.m., a warrant in hand--of a unit in the building at the corner of 11th Avenue and East Pike Street. Police have been suspiciously hush-hush about the crimes and the reason they arrested two women and 13 men. However, leave it to the locals to fill in the gaps: One was overheard saying they were just playing poker. Do we have a gambling ring in our midst? Whenever they bring out the vice unit, you know it's going to get good. Oooh, the suspense!
