Salty's on Alki was once the Beach Broiler and the woman in charge was Joyce Entus. She ran the waterfront restaurant for decades before selling it to Gerry Kingen in 1985. On June 12, 1985, the West Seattle Herald reported that “Bertil Hansson and Joyce Entus are happy the new owner of the Beach Broiler is Gerry Kingen but sad to leave the restaurant business.” Gerry and Kathy Kingen immediately asked Joyce (pictured here with Bertil) to stay on as their Hostess and she continued bringing smiles to Salty’s guests for many years.

Kathy Kingen wrote about her here.

Do you remember her? Salty's on Alki is honoring her memory by serving free cake on Monday, March 28, to celebrate her birthday (on March 27).

Salty's Piano-man Victor Janusz plays Gershwin to honor Joyce from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, March 28.

The Herald covered her passing in July of 2015.
