Lt. Gov. Owen puts Quinault salmon on the line for Super Bowl


A friendly Super Bowl bet between the lieutenant governors of Washington and Massachusetts includes a number of products made by the Quinault Indian Reservation.


Lt. Gov. Brad Owen, in a statement released today, announced his wager with his counterpart in Massachusetts, Karyn Polito. The bet stipulates that, should the Patriots win on Sunday, Polito will receive a magnum bottle of Quilceda Creek wine from Snohomish; a box of apples from Yakima Senator Curtis King and Kershaw Fruit; and smoked salmon, albacore tuna, herbal tea and a variety of souvenirs from the Quinault Indian Nation.


If the Seahawks win, Polito has offered up cannoli and craft beer made in Worcester, Mass.


“We feel we can be extremely generous with our offer because it is a wager we won’t have to pay,” Owen said in the statement. “Go Hawks!”


Owen and Polito have also agreed to donate to a local food bank in the winner’s state.


Earlier this month, Owen collected his wager of cheese, brats and beer from Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch following the Seahawks’ win at the NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers.
