Chris Cashman, the host of the Seattle Channel’s “City Stream,” shot their next show at Sunset Bowl, during which he bought a Snickers bar from the vending machine, according to the PI’s Big Blog. He’s put it up on eBay as a “rare historical item,” with the proceeds of the sale going toward the JP Patches Statue Campaign.
As of the time of this posting, the bid was still at the amount Cashman paid for the bar - 85 cents.
The show will be posted on the City Stream site sometime today. What fun will he poke at Ballard? Speaking of history, he’s got a lot to pull from, considering his dad is Pat Cashman, of “Almost Live” fame, the show that routinely singled out Ballard, including one of my all-time favorites: Ballard Driving Academy.

Thanks for the tip on the City Stream tribute to Sunset Bowl. My kids have always enjoyed bowling there with school and friends but I’ve done my best to avoid it. I just thought of it as a stinky old run down bowling alley but I was totally crying when I watched the City Stream “good-bye” piece. I do feel sorry that everyone who truely loved the Sunset - young and old - are losing a favorite gathering spot. However, I don’t blame the developers or the condo purchasers - I blame the sellers. They chose money over community. Too bad. Hopefully the new owners will consider replacing the lanes or putting in a similar community establishment on the ground floor.
