3rd Annual Salmon Derby Dinner Indulge in a five-course feast of PNW classics featuring expert wine pairings by Mark Ryan Winery with every course, and leave with curated gift bags!
This isn’t just another dining experience; it’s a nod to the bold spirit of Seattle’s original outdoorsman and rule-breaker, Ben Paris. He didn’t just sell fishing rods; he launched the city’s first salmon derby, led the charge against commercial traps in Puget Sound, and fought to protect the region’s wild bounty for generations to come.
This fall feast is our way of honoring that legacy. The menu spotlights salmon and other Pacific Northwest favorites, expertly paired with wines from Mark Ryan Winery.
As a final nod to the region’s heritage and adventure-loving heart, guests will head home with goodie bags featuring premium items, including thoughtful, PNW-inspired takeaways from brands that share our commitment to craft, conservation, and community.
So from 6-9 PM, come raise a glass, dig into a meal worth remembering, and celebrate a man who changed the game, not just for fishing, but for how we care for this place we call home.
