New Pilot in Ellensburg, WA

Pilot project: New truck stop under construction

 

I wish they would tear down and rebuild that other flying J on the south side of I-90 too.

 

That Loves is terrible also for parking or fueling up. Another real fuel stop at that exit should help a little. I hate having to stop for fuel around that area because of what a cluster it is. The Flying J at exit 109 is a toilet and the fuel is a rip off. Nothing I like about that place either. I usually stop at Shree's in Thorp at the 101. That is just a fuel stop also but they have a few 30 minutes spots for big trucks.

 

The steakhouse can stay but the rest of it needs to be bulldozed and rebuilt.

 

My assumption is that either property values are just a little too high in that area, or the NIMBY's that have spilled over from the Puget Sound region are just a little too noisy in their protest. (Lots of pillow-biting Nancies in the part of the country) There is no lack of space for a proper truck stop further down the road from the Loves.
