Café Sabika Menu
Nicknamed "Seattle's Oldest Bistro," Café Sabika was opened in the 1970s. After several incarnations under the same name, the restaurant fell into the hands of John and Gloria Rios. John Rios, the chef, was known to break out into opera while cooking. The Rios ran it until John passed away. It was sold to two former employees, Rob Zehel and Thomas Meade in 1997. They reopened it as Bistro Lautrec.

Christian Witness Pavilion of the Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair). "The Christian Witness Pavilion on Friendship Mall serves the dual role of presenting a message of hope for the future and housing the fair's Children's Center. The Children's Center is designed for youngsters from three through seven years old. Educational and entertaining displays and demonstrations provide a Christian atmosphere in which the children can study and play. A professional staff, assisted by volunteers especially trained for the task, supervises the children. The second role of the pavilion is a visual and audio presentation open to all. Visitors walk into a large auditorium where a seven-minute presentation, aided by lighting and sound effects, sets the stage for the Christian message that the only optimism for a world living with a cobalt bomb is in God."
