Ivar's?

We’re not talking about where to grab dinner. Ivar’s Seafood Restaurants has been hosting “4th of Jul-Ivar’s” for 44 years—since 1965. But Ivar’s has decided there won’t be a 2009 fireworks show, or one after that. The reason is simple: with so many economic problems hurting Washington, they’ve decided to support Northwest Harvest in lieu of putting together a fancy fireworks show. See the West Seattle Herald’s full story here.
While we’re working to raise funds for Kirkland’s Fourth of July, Ivar’s decision hits close to home. We don’t want our Fourth of July to burn out. Of course we love our community and want to support our neighbors. Don’t you think we can make a sustainable, supportive community worth celebrating? I do!
