I last saw Spencer Jack's dad, my nephew Jason, in April of 2006 when I was in the Skagit Valley of Washington for Jason's wedding. The wedding reception was held at Jason's previous restaurant, Eaglemont Pavilion, in Mount Vernon.
This morning my sister emailed me some pictures. One picture was of Jason's brother, Joey, clam digging on Samish Island and one was of Jason at Bay View State Park, wearing a shirt that said Fidalgo Drive-In on it.
I Googled Fidalgo Drive-In to find Jason has a website for his restaurant. Unfortunately the website does not come up in the #1 position due to it being a flash based website. Those do not index well with the search engines.
Checking out the Fidalgo Drive-In website I see Jason has a lot of tempting seafood. I miss Pacific Northwest seafood. I remember the first time I dropped in on Jason's Eaglemont Pavilion he made me cod and fries. Very good cod.
Several other websites have reviews of Jason's restaurant. Below is what some of the Fidalgo Drive-In diners had to say........

Holy mother of crab, this place was delicious!
After a long, relaxing weekend in the San Juans, my boyfriend and I were dreading the drive from Anacortes to Tacoma. Thankfully, my filling experience at Fidalgo made the journey a tolerable experience.
I had the crab sandwich, which amounted to a giant lump of buttery crab, wedged between a bun. There may have been some vegetables wedged in there, but who cares? It was loaded with crab! The onion rings were also served in generous portions, and soft-serve ice cream was a-plenty in the root beer floats.
I will definitely make a point of stopping here on my next trip to the San Juans!

Cool! A first review! A former A&W. Went on a Saturday at lunch with a party of seven into an almost full restaurant. Put in a big order and it came rather fast.
The food was good and a more than you would expect from a drive-in/fast food place. Had a selection of burgers, corn dogs, regular fries, curly fries, tater tots, soup, and root beer floats. All was good. The root beer floats were huge! The tater tots were crispy and probably the best I have ever had. The soup was Ivar's, can't go wrong there.
The menu had quite a selection and enough choices to satisfy any group. Service was friendly. Place was clean.

Really good burgers and amazing waffle fries. The French Dip was pretty good, but the burgers are better. Pretty big menu for such a small place. Cheese curds are awesome.
Alright already. Enough about delicious seafood. I am sitting here eating a bowl of oatmeal.
ReplyDeleteI am a 1981 graduate of Burlington-Edison. They created a playoff system in 1977. In fact Burlington played in the very first title game. It was played in kingdome in Seattle. They called it Kingbowl 1. We won by the way. We won again in 1986. Before the playoffs the champions were determined by a voting system. Burlington won in 1971. The game you mentioned from that year I remember. My grandparents took me. We froze but it was fun. Great pictures by the way. Thanks!
