February 4, 2022, was SMACNA-Western Washington’s Annual Crab Feed, a day of delectable goodies and a nod to crab feed events from the past.
Participants picked up their jam-packed crab coolers from three locations: Airtest Co, LLC in the north, Hermanson Company in the south, and from the SMACNA-Western Washington office in Bellevue. Each cooler contained all the fixings for a home-cooked seafood boil for two, including succulent Dungeness crab, white shrimp, andouille sausage, corn on the cob, red potatoes, fresh garlic, white onion, lemon, and bay leaf and spices. Crab connoisseurs topped of their meals with dessert—two large chocolate chip Health Crunch pecan cookies—and Local 66 beer. The seafood boil was graciously prepared by John Howie Catering. The Local 66 beer—created by Local 66 members—was a light but flavorful American-style premium lager brewed with pilsner malt and flaked rice.
After picking up their crab coolers, participants were invited to take a stroll down memory lane at their leisure with a compilation of pictures from SMACNA Crab Feeds gone by.
