The annual McLendon's Pancake Breakfast and Plant Sale is going on this morning, Saturday May 1 in White Center at 10210 16th Ave. SW.
The event runs until 10 AM but the plant sale continues throughout the day. This is McLendon's 84th Anniversary.

They serve FREE pancakes, sausage, orange juice and coffee. The food is all prepared by Des Moines Creek Restaurant as they have for the past 14 years for all McLendons. "We go through 150 pounds of sausage at each McLendons, of course it depends on the store," said Steven Walsh as he cooked up a large batch. Walsh is married to the "lady who organizes all this every year, Maryanne Bredl. "She actually bakes all the pies for the restaurant and does the Sunday Lunch Buffet," Walsh said.

Last year the White Center store gave away the most food of any of the McLendon's stores.

The plant sale is featuring Fuschias, on sale for $17.84 and visitors each get a free tomato plant, limit one per customer.
