The state also had lots of small stores around the state that sold liquor - I guess acting as an agent of the state, keeping sales separate.

I don't know what it was like on the Westside of Washington but whe i was in Eastern Washington you could only buy from the state there weren't any private owned stores that I was aware of.

There were contract stores all over the state that sold state liquor:

Like the little store in "downtown" Roslyn that had liquor on the wall behind the counter. Or the grocery store out in Ilwaco that had a gated off section to sell alcohol.
