The Off-the-Radar Spot Between Seattle and Vancouver You Shouldn't Miss

With a thriving microbrewery scene, a devoted collection of restaurateurs, and a short ferry ride away from one of the most critically acclaimed restaurants in the country, Bellingham manages to balance the latest national trends with its long-held quirky, corner-of-the-country feel in a way that makes it an exciting and intriguing—not to mention delicious—place to take a culinary vacation. But the Southern tinge of the food belies its business model, which comes straight out of Bellingham’s historically liberal, hippie-esque leanings: the 46 in the name alludes to the percent paid to employees (or their base wage, whichever is higher), eliminating tips entirely and ensuring them an equitable wage. Helmed by Noma alum Blaine Wetzel, the multi-course tasting menu dinners feature reef-net salmon caught from directly outside the door, vegetables chosen and grown for specific dishes on the farm next door, and flora, fauna, and fungi foraged from all over the island—which is a quick five minute ferry ride from Bellingham. For those not up for the $225 tasting menu featuring more than 20 dishes, the secret to scoring a deal is coming for your mid-day meal (what they call “snacks”), which uses the same ingredients in more casual fashion—and keeps prices in the low double digits with dishes like roasted pumpkin soup with chestnut cream and chorizo for $12.

The Clampett Mansion from 'The Beverly Hillbillies' Gets a Massive Price Cut—to $195 Million

That puts the estate, formally known as Chartwell, at just over half of what the original asking price was when it hit the market in August 2017. The 10.4 acre estate, with a 20,000 square foot main house and a 5,700 square foot guesthouse, actually belonged to A. Jerrold It’s about as upscale as posh real estate can get, with 11 rooms (including five in the guest house), a 75-foot pool with pool house, tennis court, and parking for 40 cars in the garage. The mansion, which is being marketed by Jade Mills of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, might have seen its price tag slashed, but it’s still the most expensive house on the open market in Los Angeles these days.

The Video Game Industry Has Turned Into a Tech Incubator

At the annual Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference in Aspen, Colo. this week, Roblox founder and CEO David Baszucki and Niantic CEO John Hanke discussed how innovation in gaming often expands beyond play. I think the play angle is more accessible right now, but I think, ultimately, this will be an integral part of enterprise too." Hanke noted that many apps like Uber or Yelp were built on top of Google's Maps offering. The company launched a platform that enables others to leverage the data and infrastructure behind Pokémon Go and it's latest location-based AR game Harry Potter: testing —Barbie movie will cast minority actors, according to Mattel CEO Catch up with Data Sheet, Fortune's daily digest on the business of tech.

Low-Income Students Often File Aid Forms Later

Many low-income students are hurting their chances to get financial aid because they file the federal form too late, according to the Wall Street Journal. A new study from CampusLogic, which makes software for schools to manage financial aid, reviewed 2.4 million filings of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, form. But two-thirds of students from households in the highest fifth economically had their forms in by February 1, 2018. Long and detailed, it has typically required a desktop computer to fill out in the past and households with smartphones as their only computers frequently tend to be low-income, black, or Hispanic, according to the Census Bureau.
