Tom Patterson - Executive Chef
As a 16 year old growing up in Spokane I was looking to earn some spending money and took a job in a Mexican restaurant. Never did I imagine that 30 years later I would still be working in the hospitality industry. I advanced my way up the ladder in private clubs and major hotels (where I first met Gordon & Kathy Harris) and eventually moved to Seattle to further my career. I found myself as Chief Steward on large factory trawlers that traveled to Japan, Hong Kong, the Okhosk Sea in Russia and the icy waters of the Behring Sea. Gordon approached me with his “dream” and talked me in to coming back to the “beach”. I’ve been here since the day we opened and I welcome you to come on down to the restaurant and experience what has made the food and atmosphere at Gordy’s so popular.

Debbie Barrientes - Assistant General Manager
At 15 years old I took my first job working at the concessions counter at a roller rink in White Center. It has been an interesting ride ever since. I worked at the Sea Galley in West Seattle for 4 years and at SeaTac Airport for 5 years serving and bartending. I worked for a food brokerage firm and I’ve done some property management work. I managed the bar at Torero’s in Factoria for several years before taking a break from the biz to start a plumbing company with my husband Carlos. I got back into the biz at Gordy’s as a part-time bartender. Then I became full-time and now I run the office too. I’m very proud of what we offer here at the “Debbie’s on the Green”. I’ve lived here in Tukwila for 10 years and it’s exciting to be a part of a local business that has seen tremendous growth in the short time.
