Ivar's Indian Salmon House is one of 31 fish bars and full service-restaurants founded by beloved Seattle showman and restaurateur Ivar Haglund (1905-1985). Mr. Haglund commissioned Seattle architect John W. Adams (1919-2002) to create the Salmon House's interior and exterior, loosely based on a Tlingit longhouse. The restaurant opened in 1969 on NE Northlake Way at the north end of Lake Union and is still in business as Ivar's Salmon House of 2018.

In this image Assistant Manager Sherry Barker opens the door at Ivar's Indian Salmon House.
