I just read online that in Canada you have to stay 3 feet away from strippers though - no lap dances. That seems utterly bizarre.
No lap dances? Where did you read that?
There are some discrepancies in the rules on whether or not you can touch the lap dancers, but of course we have lap dances.

It's true that strip clubs have been shutting down all over (and not just in liberal cities like Seattle), but that's mostly because of the Internet.
I don't know how it invalidates anything. Liberals went after and shut down Rick's strip club. The Supreme Court has ruled that strip clubs are protected by the 1st Amendment, so there is only so much that libs can do to quash them. But they continue to try.
Red states have traditionally been tolerant of strip clubs. Blue states, not so much. Texas and Florida generally lead the nation in stripping, and a deep blue state like WA is in the bottom 5 for stripping, no pun intended.

Because of perceived corruption. Not because they're anti-sex or anything. As your very own link goes on to say, another strip club opened up in the same location.
How cute! Conservatives who seek to control who you can sleep with are now whining about bordellos being closed.
Give me an example of a conservative who "seek[s] to control who [sic] you can sleep with..." I've given you examples of liberals who do that (Gil Kerlikowske, Jenny Durkan), now just give me one example of a conservative who does it.
Conservative icon Grover Norquist coined the phrase 'leave me alone coalition.' Hillary Clinton said "it takes a village;' in other words, she is going to be all up into your business.

That sounds like quite the stretch on your part...or do you think it is okay for people to bribe city council members?
And do you have any idea how easy it is to find a strip club in Seattle? isn't there still that one right by Pike Place Market?

How about states that use to have anti-sodomy laws? It wasn't liberals who made those laws.
Heck, conservatives love to try and govern what people do in their sex lives.
I don't know about Canada, but in most places in the US strip clubs that serve alcohol can only be topless. Oregon is an exception - full nude stripping and alcohol are allowed in the same establishment.
Virtually all strip clubs in the Seattle area are no alcohol. This never bothered me personally as I don't see the appeal of mixing sex and booze, But is just another example of the nanny state mentality of Seattle. Frank Colicurcio was one of he first to go to serving soda pop only at his clubs to evade the intrusion and cash grabs of the liquor control board.
