AGAIN? >>>
After reading poster Scott Lindstrom's comments, and having a hard time deciding if he was joking or not, the Weekly Volcano has learned that favorite Olympia restaurant King Solomon's Reef did indeed catch fire. Again.
Komo 4 news has reported that the fire started around 5:45 a.m. this morning. Flames and smoke were seen coming from the building. The fire has since been put out, but officials are estimating the building will require around $100,000 in repairs before the restaurant can reopen.
This marks the second time in recent years that King Solomon's Reef has suffered severe fire damage.
The Reef was recently voted by Volcano readers as Olympia's "Best Bar Food." It took the Reef over a year and a half to reopen after a fire in 2008 completely gutted the restaurant. We here at the Volcano sincerely hope the restaurant can again open its doors, and we can resume our passion of eating chicken wings and sipping PBR at 6 in the morning.
