Chicago has its third place; Paris has its salon. These are gathering places where citizens feel comfortable to interact, where friendships are developed, and issues discussed. They are the building blocks of a community. Seattle in the 1960's and 70's had Ruby Chow's Restaurant, a place where people went for Chinese food. It was also a favorite for local politicos to schmooze and cut deals over chow mein and almond chicken. Owner Ruby Chow is a quintessential hostess. She is also a trailblazer: the first Asian American woman in the Puget Sound region to break into politics.
