Starting July 1st, small live music venues in Seattle will no longer be charged a 5% admissions tax by the city. The Seattle City Council voted May 26th to waive the tax for all venues that have a maximum occupancy less than 1,000 people and offer live music at least three days per week and have at least 16 musicians perform per week.  This will help clubs during these tough economic times, make it easier for people to go out and hear music, and allow musicians a greater opportunity to play and earn a living. This is a great success for Seattle music and will help to truly make Seattle the City of Music!
