DescriptionSaying the state of Washington has imposed restraints on competition, a lawyer for Costco Wholesale Corp. asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday to uphold a landmark ruling that could lead to lower beer and wine prices.

David Burman said the Issaquah-based cash-and-carry retailer isn't asking the court to strike down the entire alcohol regulatory system. Instead, Costco wants the court to affirm U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman's ruling last year that threw out numerous state regulations that she said were in violation of federal antitrust law.
