From now through this Saturday, September 11, diners can buy $5 rubber ducks along with their crab rangoons and mahi mahi tacos at any Bluwater Bistro location.

Why would a diner want to buy a rubber duck? Because all proceeds from the sales go to the Timothy Brenton Memorial Fund, to finance a neighborhood memorial for the slain officer. He’s the policeman who was shot last Halloween by cop-killer Christopher Monfort, just up the hill from the Leschi Bluwater.

On Saturday, September 11, all the ducks will “compete” in a race just outside the restaurant, with the owner of the winning duck to win a $1000 gift card to Bluwater. Other prizes will be given as well.

May the best duck win.
