Back in 1947, Art Lacey started up the McLoughlin gas station which sat
below a WWII bomber plane. Although the gas station is no longer there,
an eatery called the Bomber Restaurant sits next to the plane featuring
fine hot foods that sit well during cold days.

An interesting roadside attraction is
the Twin TeePees Restaurant on Seattle's Aurora Avenue or Hwy 99 which
proclaims itself as "serving the best breakfast in town." This
setup was prefabricated in California and trucked to this site on the
Pacific Coast Highway in 1934.
UPDATE 2000 : The Twin Teepees, here in Seattle,
has "gone
to that great short order grill in the sky." Yes, this place was
leveled at the end of July 2000. Many thanks to Mike Fuller for update.
UPDATE : They had a big fire a couple of years ago and the
place closed down for good-a real loss for Seattle, as it was one of the
most distinctive restaurants in town in terms of its looks, and the
food wasn't bad either. Many thanks to Janna Silverstein for update.

Colorful and attention grabbing, the Golden Pheasant Restaurant stays
true to its name and features a multi-colored pheasant on its marquee.
If you're ever passing through Sunnyside, be sure to pay this bird a visit.

It's the Safari Restaurant from Sunnyside, WA. The signage sports
a fantastic Polynesian theme throughout. Just take a look at the detail
on the shield. You may end up paying a visit inside and sample some local
entertainment after marveling at this sight.
