SUMMARY:After serving breakfast for 65 years\, SeaTac’s Pancake Chef will flip its last flapjack Sept. 28
DESCRIPTION:After serving generations of south King County residents since 1959\, the historic Pancake Chef will close its doors for the final time on Sunday\, Sept. 28\, according to longtime resident and former SeaTac City councilmember Fuzz Hill. \nThe family-owned diner has been a local landmark and gathering place in SeaTac for more than six decades\, known for its comfort food\, community atmosphere and regular customers. \nAfter more than four decades at the helm\, owner Loren Sisley is retiring and closing the restaurant. \nHill said the closure marks the end of an era for the city and its neighbors. \n“Sad to see another locally-owned family business being shuttered\, but happy for Loren for all his successful prior and many future restful years\,” Hill said. \nLast year\, KOMO News’ Eric’s Heroes profiled the iconic restaurant\, describing it as a “Northwestern gem” that has remained largely unchanged since opening in 1959. The segment highlighted the restaurant’s vintage charm\, its role as a family gathering place for decades of regulars\, and the dedication of staff who have worked there for more than 40 years: \n Be sure to get your last taste of great\, local flapjacks soon – the Pancake Chef is located at 15215 Military Rd S\, SeaTac\, WA 98188: \n\n
