Another Jake Spotting

Got this from Jill Collins of Jill Collins PR from the DC area.  She secured a McCormick & Schmick’s Jake story in the DC Examiner. Loved their header!

 Just bring a LOT of butter…

If you’re wondering what giant monstrosity is hanging out at the National Harbor, that would be Jake the Crab, the official mascot of McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurants, which sits atop the restaurant group’s newest eatery. The 700 pound inflatable crab is named for Bill McCormick’s first restaurant in Portland, Oregon. Visible from Wilson Bridge — not to mention to those passengers flying into Reagan National –  Jake is  8 feet high, 17 feet wide and 17 feet deep and his legs extend 25 feet out in each direction. You can spot him there until June 23.
