Endolyne Joe's clearly has a heart.

The are staging a fundraiser for Dottie's Double Wide which was damaged to the point of closure by a devastating fire that swept through more than 5 businesses in the middle of White Center in the early morning hours of July 5.

The bar had just been purchased by it's former bartender, Sole and his business partner to save Dottie's from pandemic closure. They were set to reopen when the fire struck.

Thursday July 8 Endolyne Joe's will donate 50% of all food and beverage sales to Dottie's Double Wide. In the spirit of Dottie's they are featuring a Cowboy Cooler cocktail too.

Endolyne Joe's is located at 9261 45th Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98136

Like most members of the White Center community, surprise was far down on my list of emotions when learning of an early morning fire following the Fourth.

Speculation exploded into the comments sections of local Facebook groups regarding the source. However, the Fire Marshall on scene denounced fireworks as the igniter and deemed it to be an electrical fire beginning in the basement of The Lumber Yard Bar. 

Have you ever wondered what astronauts eat while in space? That question and others have been on the mind of local restaurateur and entrepreneur Young Cho since he was a boy. While he's taken some detours along the way his dream of being involved in the space program is actually taking shape. But his vision goes all the way out to deep space and back to earth in ways you might not expect.

The tide and pace of daily events can lead to forgetting even recent news. But the Highland Park Improvement Club which suffered tremendous damage in a fire on July 1 is showing the kind of resilience that made them one of the most active and engaged organizations in Seattle.

They shared an open letter to the community last week detailing their upcoming Garage Sale and outlined ways the public can help them come back from the disaster.
