Seattle is a town of restaurants and Canlis<\/a> is a restaurant fabled among them \u2013 expensive, exquisite, an unmatched view, a wine list longer than any other and servers in kimonos.  Certainly not the usual fare for those of us in the nonprofit trenches.  And so we were thrilled when Canlis invited us to join them for a party yesterday evening, to celebrate their 60th<\/sup>anniversary as a restaurant.  We arrived to find a festive crowd of 200 people, all like us \u2013 dedicated members of the Seattle nonprofit\/social enterprise arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We learned that Canlis is run by close family (all of the Canlis name and all of them present last night) and that they decided to honor all of us with this party.\u00a0 They explained that they initially wanted to hold a charity event to celebrate the restaurant\u2019s 60th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary, but realized that such an event becomes an \u201cask.\u201d\u00a0 Instead, they wanted to do a \u201cgive.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s our birthday party, but we\u2019d like to give the present and not receive it,\u201d said Mark Canlis.\u00a0 They identified that what they had to give was food and hospitality, and so give they did.\u00a0 The food poured from the kitchen all night long, the wine was outstanding and three wonderful musical ensembles kept the music flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only was the evening a great time, I think a lot of us felt really great to be honored in this way.\u00a0 Yes, people tell us all the time that the work we do is valuable, and thank us for our dedication.\u00a0 But not many people \u201cput the food where their mouth is.\u201d\u00a0 What Canlis did was very Other Centered\u2013that is their term, actually.\u00a0 Other Centered is one of the three Canlis family\/company values.\u00a0 And they demonstrated it last night in spades. \u00a0And so from Jon and Erik at TisBest, and all 200 other invitees, to the Canlis Family \u2013 thank you for a wonderful evening.\u00a0\u00a0 Seattle is fortunate to have such institutions as your restaurant, your family, and your collective heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
