Fircest is the only remaining "dry" municipality in Washington State, prohibiting the sale of alcohol by the glass. A proposition to allow the sale of alcohol in Fircrest is on the ballot for the 3 November 2015 election. ==History== Fircrest was officially incorporated on September 19, 1925. Like its neighbor University Place, it is a middle-class suburb of Tacoma. The community was developed by Edward Bowes, who later gained fame as the host of the Major Bowes Amateur Hour radio talent show. The town attempted to associate itself with academia by naming a number of its streets after universities (e.g. Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale, Vassar, Stanford) and was originally known as Regents Park in a reference to the regents of a university.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fircrest, last dry town left in state, is voting on booze )〕
