WASHINGTON STATE  (Metro News)  -- Private stores, including Safeway and Costco, plan to have bottles of vodka, whiskey and other hard liquor on store shelves when Washington's new liquor privatization law, Initiative 1183, takes effect Friday. 

But heraldnet.com reports there's a chance privatization won't happen. 

The State Supreme Court is considering whether the initiative is constitutional and is expected to issue a decision before Friday.
