Proprietors Tom Uberuaga and Bill Pancake have built CreekTown on the foundation of more than 20 years of restaurant experience.

Tom has worked the industry in San Francisco and Seattle, where he managed Campagne and founded Cassis. Having had his fill of the concrete jungle, he left Seattle in 2000 and moved to Walla Walla to serve as Whitehouse-Crawford’s opening manager.

A Walla Walla native, Bill entered the restaurant scene while attending college in Spokane. His return to Walla Walla, coupled with his family background in cooking, led him to open his first restaurant, Jacobi’s, when he was 23. After taking a break to finish school and work in construction with his father, Bill was ready to return to the kitchen.

With their complementary backgrounds in the restaurant world, opening CreekTown seemed a natural and welcome next step for both Bill and Tom.
