History

Established in 2007.

Our second chowder house is located in the beautiful, downtown Pacific Place Shopping Center, with a sky bridge to the Nordstrom flagship store. Offering an expanded menu that adds fish 'n chips, premium beers, and other prepared dishes to the menu. For shorter lines and A/C on a hot summer day, plus movies and shopping, and a great lunch on a working weekday, this is the place!

Larry M.

Business Owner

Larry Mellum has been making seafood chowder in the Pacific Northwest since 1991. When he decided to compete in Rhode Island's Great Chowder Cook-off in 2000, the odds of winning didn't look likely; in 20 years, no restaurant outside New England had ever won first place. Nevertheless, his now-famous chowder went on to win first place three years in a row. It was then that Larry decided to expand his business beyond a small café in West Seattle.
