Ivar's sign hoisted out of Puget Sound


Ivar Haglund was a great entrepreneur. He connected with people and with a sense of humor. His Acres of Clams Restaurant on the waterfront is a fixture from 1938 until today. News! He put billboards on the floor of Puget Sound - more likely Elliot Bay.

Seattle Times Newspaper:
An Ivar's sign is hoisted out of Puget Sound Friday. Ivar's President Bob Donegan says that Seattle author Paul Dorpat is writing a book about Ivar Haglund.

In his research, Dorpat found maps of Puget Sound that indicated various locations of possible underwater billboards. Donegan acknowledged rumors of Haglund being a forward thinker and believed submarines to be a viable mode of travel
