Washington’s Fisher Scones: An Iconic Northwest Treat Since 1911

A Delicious Pacific Northwest Legacy.
Fisher Scones, a Pacific Northwest tradition, were introduced at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. This sweet treat, slathered with butter and raspberry jam, has outlived the very brand it served to promote. Founded in Seattle, Washington during the early 20th century, Fisher Flouring Mills grew into a family empire encompassing real estate, radio, and television. Now a part of Conifer Specialties, memories of that flourishing flour legacy may have faded, but more than a century later their tasty biscuit remains an icon. At fairs, festivals, and special events, the enticing scent of baking scones still draws crowds eager for a taste.
Jim Erickson, author, educator and scone baker, delves into the history of Washington’s most beloved baked good. Bon Appetit!
