The Trapper’s Story

Trapper O’Keeffe has been preparing sushi for over 20 years. He trained in Reno, Nevada under his brother-in-law, Eisuke Sato, at the age of 17. After Eisuke closed his restaurant and returned to Japan, Trapper took what he learned to Washington state. He quickly found his style of sushi was very popular and began searching for an opportunity to open his own restaurant.

In 2004, Sushi Town opened in Bonney Lake. It wasn’t very long before Trapper noticed customers were visiting from throughout Washington, and began to look for opportunities to expand. Trapper’s Sushi in Covington, our second location, was quickly followed by stores in Puyallup and Bremerton. We’re proud to now be serving 15 communities across Washington state, Arizona, and Texas!

These days, you probably won’t find Trapper behind the counter rolling sushi, but there is a great chance you’ll meet one of his family members, who share his philosophy of getting to know every customer like they are family. Trapper greatly appreciates customers taking the time to share their dining experience, and he encourages both new and regular customers to let him know how we’re doing.

Trapper’s goal is to make Trapper’s Sushi Co. a place you’ll want to visit again and again. He hopes after each visit you will be thinking about what new roll you are going to try tomorrow.
