There are separate areas for trucks and cars. Both have some decent tall trees for shade and are nicely far from the noise of the highway if you were thinking of taking a nap. Some trash and the rest room needed attention. But if you just want to walk around without getting off the highway, this works. [Review 20858 overall - 115 in Washington - 1842 of 2023.]

Today, Wednesday 2 August 2023, I discovered a new appreciation for its placement on I-5 in regards to heading east to Enumclaw following visiting the rest area, the turn for Enumclaw (Highway 18) was the next exit once I merged back onto the interstate from the rest area. There are two smaller restroom buildings, vending machines, designated parking areas per vehicle type, and grassy area(s) with picnic tables. The restrooms were busy and a little less clean than I have experienced in the past, but nothing appalling. I was running low on water, so I tried two of the water fountains at one of the restroom buildings and found neither worked. Going to the second restroom building, I found working water fountain(s) with water that did not have a funky taste. While typically busy, people utilizing the rest area have tended to be mindful in my experience(s).

Oh, poo. First stop…read moreon the road trip to California. Left on schedule, making great time down Highway 5, I'm gonna hit Grants Pass before 6 pm!! Woo hoo!! Ferghal and Lola are zonked out and I hate to stop but I *gotta go*. As I make my way to the right side of the highway, the pups perk up and breathe their doggie breath down my neck . Much meefing and wild tail wagging. Pups loves them a road trip --- because that means Rest Areas!! They are dogs --- they are easily pleased. First order of business --- figuring out where the hell I am. I drove past Chehalis, but the rest stop sign *says* Chelhalis. I know that's wrong, but deep down I wonder if maybe I'm driving on some sorta road to hell and I've been unknowlingly driving in the Chehalis vortex --- because if there is such a thing --- it's not in middle of the ocean near Bermuda, No, no, no , it's here. In Chehalis. The place people dream of leaving. I could hardly stand staying long enough to pee. Which brings me to the second order of business: Clean bathrooms (but no toilet seat covers --- that just makes me cranky), free coffee, stale store bought cookies (some road stops have ladies who make cookies, this rest stop was staffed by a couple of retired truckers who found the cookies behind the seat in the rig). Now for the third order of business: c'mon pups... do your bidniss! Holy crap! I mean literally... Holy. Crap. There is dog poop everywhere. Ooooooh geeeeeez. I guess those "pick up after your pooch please" signs you see some places really help --- and if you're not gonna have toilet seat covers --- how 'bout some POOP BAGS!? YES I AM YELLING HERE. It coulda been a nice rest stop too --- couple of tables under the trees. Nice wide paths to walk around. It could have been so nice but for well, the poo. Hey! Look - they have WiFi!! Nevermind. Registration won't work --- I don't think I like this rest stop, they don't even have vending machines. Time to toutle on down the highway.
