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).

Didn't even realize we were hungry. It has been one of our favorite places to eat ever since! The food and service have always been top-notch. The dining room is clean. Coffee cups stay full. Covid has crippled them like a lot of places, but they still put out quality food (but a smaller menu, sadly). They are famous for their breakfasts, offered all day or night, but we changed our MO last night and ordered dinner. My farm-boy Hubby ordered Liver & Onions and being a city-gal, I got the Chicken Alfredo. Both were good and what we expected. BUT! We also chose a cup of clam chowder at the recommendation of our sweet waitress, Jessie. It was the BEST we've had in a long time! Next time we stop, I'm going with a bowl of clam chowder for dinner! NOTE: Their delicious bread is homemade and is used for garlic bread, sandwiches & French toast. NOTE #2: If you like French toast, ask for their Cinnamon Raisin! OMGosh! You're welcome!

We had finished a nice morning hike and couldn't resist the view from the front porch. We arrived around 11:15 and learned that lunch started at 12 and there was no waiting list. We decided to wait and sat at a table on the front porch, but we were worried a long line would form. The nicest woman was setting up the tables and helped us! She got us a buzzer so we would be first in line and she let one of us stay at the table to hold it. She really relieved our stress! Once we officially had our table, we had the most wonderful server named Pia. She was the kindest, friendliest person we saw on our whole trip! Pia made jokes, asked us about ourselves, and was just a ray of sunshine. I had the grilled cheese with ham, and it was incredible! Crispy crunchy bread, savory ham, and sweet and tart cranberry sauce, and fresh crunchy apple slices- delicious! My friend had the chicken and avocado sandwich, which also looked great. We both got truffle fries, which were offered for the same price as normal fries. The food prices were a little high, but it was worth it! I highly recommend stopping by for a meal!

Sadly the restaurant experience was so dismal that I don't know if I would book an extended stay since it's basically the only option for dining. The menu sounded amazing! What I got was not and the service was even worse. Imagine Beechers cheddar, Gouda & Apple sandwich. All the right words, just none of the follow through. I'm sad just writing this because it reminds me how dismal it all was. Here's the short version took forever for the food to come, host even had another server come check on us because it was taking so long and perhaps our server "had forgotten to take our order" food finally arrives and it's cold, there's barely any cheese on my sandwich, and I'd request requested ham and that never came. Server never came to check to see if our food was OK. I had to go find him to let him know that my food was not what I'd asked for. I was nibbling on the fries and he came to take my plate to go get me a new order and I just asked if I could just have the fries cause it had been so long for anything to arrive, I was just happy to have something to eat. He finally just ended up bringing me a side of ham so that I could put it on the sandwich myself.

I was SO impressed by how large and clean it was. There were 4 stalls in the women's room, changing stations in both bathrooms, and they were SUPER clean!

They also have things like phone chargers, stuffed animals, games, and other items. It's about 3-4x bigger than a standard gas station and is very clean and well organized. I am excited to get to stop here again, it is SUCH a good spot to use the restroom and pick up some snacks. Plus the gas prices were pretty reasonable!
