 Lisa Luxe grew up in Gig Harbor and used to watch old Ivar’s commercials with her dad growing up. The legendary local seafood chain’s motto, keep clam, became a household catchphrase, and the fish and chips became a must have when she returns home from Las Vegas.

Last Friday, Luxe was back in town and surprised her dad with some body art. In a good way. And obviously the company that made its name on wacky promotions, was delighted.
