Dick Spady: A Life of Visions and Values

Dick Spady: A Life of Vision and Values is the life story of Richard Spady, the co-founder of Dick's Drive-In Restaurants in Seattle, Washington. This book traces Dick's life from his early years in Oregon, to his service in World War II and Korea, to the founding of his popular restaurants and his ground breaking research and advocacy for civic engagement. Dick's Drive-Ins are the longest continually operated fast food restaurants in the Pacific Northwest and are cultural icons for Seattle and most recently Edmonds. This history paints a brief story of Dick's life, his vision, and the values which have enriched not only the Seattle community, but the lives of others around the world.
