Puget Sound Media historian Steven L. Smith does a great in-depth feature on Seattle Restaurateur Ivar Haglund in a recent post on the broadcasting blog. For Seattle transplants like me, he is known for crazy commercials with fish puns, seafood restaurants, and owning what was once Seattle's tallest building, the Smith Tower (above). But Smith (no relation to Smith Tower, that I'm aware of) reveals that Ivar plays a much bigger part in Seattle's history.

Ivars and Skippers the best take fish and chips.
