The Totem House fish n’ chips stand near the Ballard locks is SAVED!

Red Mill Burgers will open at the site later this year. The location will offer fish and chowder as well as Red Mill’s regular gourmet-burger menu.

It was originally built in the mid 1930s, as a gift shop selling Native American artifacts to locks visitors. It closed in WWII. It reopened in 1945 as a fish stand. The same family owned it for 65 years of gradual decline, until they abruptly shuttered it this past New Year’s.
