This Washington Waterfront Tavern Serves Fresh Seafood On A Deck Overlooking A Marina Full Of Boats

A harbor seal made a cameo while diners waited for a table here, and nobody even had to buy a ticket. That’s the kind of lunch line I can get behind. This long-running tavern sits right on the water in Washington, with a deck that looks over a marina packed with boats. The menu leans hard into seafood, with halibut and cod fish and chips, clam chowder, and salmon tacos.

Over 130 dogs sent to Tacoma-Humane Society in November. Shelter asks for help

The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County is asking the public for help after receiving too many dogs. In a Nov. 11 Facebook post , the organization said it has received 130 dogs since Nov. 1 — 30 more than in mid-October. “This rise in dog intake is pushing us beyond our capacity. As one dog is adopted or reunited with their family, more than one dog is waiting to take their place,” the post said. “We need the support of our community to help us ensure there is space for the pets that desperately need our care.” Adoption fees for dogs who are at least 1 year old will be waived from Nov. 12 to Nov. 13, the post said. Residents can help the shelter by: Adopting. Interested dog owners can visit the Humane Society’s website or visit at 2608 Center St. from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. every day except Mondays. If an owner has committed to a dog that is waiting to be spayed or neutered, they can foster the dog until their surgery. Fostering. Someone who can’t adopt but can provide a temporary home for a dog can help save space, the post said. The

Former Ram Restaurant in Lakewood will soon offer a ‘taste of Southern charm'

The owner of Hot Fish House, known for fried catfish and a giant turkey leg stuffed with and surrounded by all manner of Southern specialties, will soon introduce a full-service restaurant in the former Ram Restaurant and Brewery in Lakewood. Quinton Gethers is hopeful he can reach the finish line to open Q’s Restaurant — with a tagline of a “taste of Southern charm” — by the end of the year. The black-and-gold signs went up in October. He has been working on the approximately 8,000-square-foot space since April, he said, super-cleaning the carpet in the main dining room, which boasts a tall fireplace and several built-in, half-circle booths. ( The Ram in Lakewood closed in September 2025, but its other locations in Washington, including on Ruston Way, continue.) He spruced up the Ram’s old tables and chairs, painted the walls a Kelly-green hue and hung interesting images of animals in unusual settings, some in military garb. He already fielded inquiries for the generously sized private banquet room. The Ram company constructed the building in 1988, about 17 years after debuting its brewpub concept in what became Lakewood Towne Center. It feels somewhat of that era, with a cool greenhouse-style

King County Shrinks Vashon Septic Inspection Zone From 1,300 Parcels to Just 75 Properties

King County has dramatically scaled back a proposal that would have required septic inspections on roughly 1,300 waterfront parcels on Vashon Island, narrowing the plan to about 75 properties clustered along isolated shoreline stretches. County officials say the smaller zone can still satisfy the minimum requirements of state law while sparing hundreds of homeowners from new inspection mandates.

How DJ Mims turned Puyallup into WA's best high school football team

When Luke Parker broke Puyallup High’s single-season touchdown receptions record in last week’s playoff win over Lewis & Clark, he didn’t have to go far to find the previous record holder. Dane Looker was standing on the sideline, in fact, when Parker recorded his record-breaking 19th touchdown catch. Looker, who played with quarterback Brock Huard in the mid-1990s, is Puyallup’s receivers coach. “Congratulations,” he told Parker, a senior captain. “You earned it.” Looker went on to play at the UW and in the NFL. “It was really rewarding to hear,” Parker said. “But you know, I’m not satisfied. I feel like the state’s championship’s our goal as a team.” That goal is within reach. The WIAA’s state high school football tournaments begin this week across Washington. Puyallup, which is 10-0, is the No. 1 seed in the Class 4A tournament. At this point in the season, Puyallup is the state’s undisputed No. 1 team. Just look at the resume. A 57-14 road win over Rocky Mountain, one of Idaho’s top programs. A 32-14 win over Bellevue, which is a 3A title contender. A 43-42 overtime road win over Lake Stevens, the No. 2 seed in the 4A state tournament. A

Squid jigging season is back in the South Sound! Here's where to find them

It’s squidding time in the South Sound, and Tacomans are lighting up the water (and social media ) with nets and jigs. November through February is peak squid-jigging season, and Pacific market squid are back in the South Sound by the millions. Though there are always some resident squid in Puget Sound, migratory squid flush in and out by way of the Strait of Juan de Fuca every year, first showing up around Neah Bay in late May, then to Port Angeles in August, Edmonds in September, Elliott Bay and finally the South Sound in November and December, according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). The best way to catch a squid is to jig for it. No, not the dance (though you’re welcome to do that once you’ve caught one). Jigging in fishing is when you pump and pull an artificial lure (called a jig) up and down in the water like a sewing machine. Squid are attracted to the colorful jigs, which have multiple hooks, and, if you’re doing it right, they’ll grab hold of them. No bait necessary. WDFW allows up to four jigs per line and a 10-pound bucket maximum of squid a
