"A year ago, the King County health department shut down Duke’s Chowder House on Alki — part of a seafood chain with seven locations in the Puget Sound area — amid alleged violations of pandemic-related safety measures (which Duke’s management denied). About a year later, the company behind the Duke’s franchise, Elwood Investments, received $10 million in federal aid from the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF), the maximum amount possible." - Gabe Guarente
