NEW OPENINGS AND RETURNS

After spending a year closed, Ballard Station Public House has reopened. Since the bar didn't serve food, it previously fell under the "nightclub" classification and wasn't qualified to open until phase four. Now, it's back in business and serving pizza for the first time ever, with a dough recipe developed by owner Jesse Young. The menu includes a meat and vegetarian option, as well as Caesar salads.

Canlis announces new chef
After a meticulous search, Seattle's premier fine-dining establishment Canlis List has selected its next executive chef to take over the post from Brady Williams, who left the restaurant in February to start his own restaurant. Williams' successor Aisha Ibrahim is the seventh executive chef in the 70-year-old restaurant's history and is the first woman, as well as the first woman of color, to hold the position. Ibrahim was previously working in Bangkok and joined the team on April 30, along with her partner Samantha Beaird, who's coming aboard as a research and development chef. She'll be revamping the entire Canlis menu as it goes forward, save for its signature Canlis salad and soufflé.
