In thanks for my teacher and friend Craig MacGowan, who took us on fantastic field trips. These are a fraction of the wonders you can find in the Salish Sea.

Skippers was a fast food chain founded in 1969 by Herb Rosen in Bellevue, Washington with a menu of chowder, fish and chips, and other fried seafood. Skippers grew rapidly during the '70s, with new restaurants being opened in multiple western states and British Columbia, Canada, until peaking at around 200 locations in the early '80s. In 1989, growth had slowed, and the chain was sold, resulting in the closing of several locations. Having been largely stagnant, Skippers was would be sold several more times before filing for bankruptcy in 2006. 14 of the 58 remaining stores were sold ahead of the bankruptcy, and after the sales of individual units, the remaining stores were closed and Skippers ceased to exist.

Kurtzer Flying Service was founded by legendary Seattle pilot, Alana Kurtzer, at Boeing Field in 1928. Kurtzer would later relocate the business to the south end of Lake Union in 1931. Serving routes throughout the Pacific Northwest, from the Mt. Rainier and the San Juan Islands, to destinations in British Columbia, including Vancouver and Nanaimo, Kurtzer Flying Service got cargo and passengers to their destinations for years. Kurtzer eventually renamed the business Kurtzen Marine and Flying Service School, and began teaching pilots the ins and outs of operating seaplanes. Alana Kurtzer's school continued to operate for decades, training thousands of pilots that would follow in his footsteps, and only closed in 1988 after his death.

The venue that would become known as Natacha's originally opened their doors as Perl's Ballroom back in 1934. From a large wooded lot off of Arsenal Way in Bremerton, Washington, Perl's hosted blues and rock n roll acts from across the country nightly for decades. In 1971, Perl sold her business to Bill Sesko, who renamed the establishment for his wife, Natacha. The venue continued to host rock acts throughout the '70s, but in the '80s Natacha's became a popular spot for punk, hardcore, and metal bands. This was turned up to 11 in the mid '80s when Seattle implemented the TDO (Teen Dance Ordinance) which all but made it illegal to host all ages shows in the city, so many shows were now a ferry ride away in Bremerton at Natacha's.
