Print viewFire damages rebuilt BBQ restaurant near Olympia
The return of the Ranch House BBQ to its home west of Olympia has been delayed by fire.
The return of the Ranch House BBQ to its home west of Olympia has been delayed by fire.
The decades-old restaurant off State Route 8 near Summit Lake was ruined by a mudslide nearly a year ago. The business was relocated to downtown Olympia while a new place was rebuilt at the original site, but the roof was destroyed by fire on Sunday.
Nobody was inside and there were no injuries. The cause remains undetermined, but McLane Fire Department spokeswoman Davie Kendall says hot roofing material may have ignited the insulation.
Co-owner Amy Anderson says the walls can be salvaged, and she hopes to reopen in the original location next month. Still, she says, "If it wasn't for bad luck, I guess I wouldn't have any luck at all."
