During 1917, while lawmakers in the nation's capital were haggling over wording that would lead to the 18th amendment on prohibition, Pacific County's jail book showed a sharp rise in alcohol-related incarcerations -- an odd circumstance as Washington state had already been "dry" for three full years. Arrest notes in the jail book indicated "selling or giving away liquor", "drinking in a public place", "drunk and disorderly", and "selling Bulldog Cider" (which resulted in a hefty $117.00 fine).
Despite prohibition, alcohol continued to be readily available in the county -- from drugstores dispensing alcohol-based "patent medicine" and doctors who wrote prescriptions for "medicinal whiskey", often pocketing small fortunes on the side.
