VIEWFINDER: George's Celebrates 35 Years With Song, Dance and Family

Crowd packs the popular downtown diner to party and reflect on all those years in Kirkland.

The Mangouras family gathered with customers and friends on a warm Saturday night to eat, drink, dance and celebrate 35 years in Kirkland of its diner .

Longtime patrons and probably some new ones packed the place on Kirkland Ave, a two-man band played traditional Greek music and song, dance and camaraderie filled the air.

Patch was there to take it all in. For an earlier story with some history of George's, founded by the late George Mangouras and now co-owned by his son Pete Mangouras and Derek MacKenzie, click here.

In the meantime, enjoy the party by browsing the attached photos.

Hopelink's actions mandating Section 8 housing went too far. Sorry, you are off our list ofRead More organizations to support even though the support before was robust. City council listened to organized carpetbaggers and not the citizens they are sworn to represent. All that can be replaced need to go at the next election Hopelink needs to find folks to contribute who have not been done wrong by this organization.
