La Conner Seafood & Prime Rib House was established in 1986 by Jim and Mary Lou Caudill in a historic building with a thrilling past of smuggling, gambling, and the crazy hippy days of the 60's & 70's. In 1996 Kari VandenBosch joined the team and worked her way up to general manager. In 2002 La Conner Seafood & Prime Rib House was sold, and Kari left to manage Flounder Bay Café which she then purchased in 2004 with her husband Jason VandenBosch. In January 2008 Kari & Jason purchased La Conner Seafood & Prime Rib House, at which point they decided to focus solely on La Conner Seafood and Prime Rib. We are a family run company with a commitment to our local vendors and our community. Today Kari, Jason and daughter's Elly, Lauren and Myra are busy making La Conner Seafood & Prime Rib House a success! Chef David Tisinger is a local chef with a history at some of the best restaurants in the valley, we were pleased to have him as part of the team.

Susan specializes in La Conner Seafood & Prime Rib House banquets and catering.
