By Evan Smith

Congressman Jim McDermott has joined other Washington Democrats in a wager with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco over the Sunday playoff game between the Seahawks and the 49ers.

McDermott, who represents Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, and the rest of the 7th Congressional District, will bet Theo’s chocolate against San Francisco sourdough bread from Boudin’s Bakery and chocolate from Ghirardelli and TCHO in Pelosi’s district.

Five other Democrats from around Puget Sound have bet delicacies from their districts against the sourdough bread and San Francisco chocolate from Pelosi’s district.
