    There's another small Truck Stop in Kent WA, Earnie's Fuel Stop. Be aware that they charge $25 for overnight parking! The overnight parking lot is South beside the fuel stop.

    I usually stop at the TA in North Bend and reserve a spot there, it's only $12. Was there last Sunday night. You should reserve early as they are booked out fast. If you come over Snoqualmie Pass on a Sunday afternoon, expect a lot of traffic and backups, last Sunday it was 103 min for 55 miles.

    Hope and pray that everyone is ok in California!
    That earthquake really did damage 6.4 and according to the news there are many people dead. Trying to find out more and verify what I'm hearing.:(

    I’ll never forget when I was trying to get loaded in Chino back in 1990 when Hurricane Andrew was heading for the bullseye in South Florida. I begged the shipper to load me early so I could start heading home to my family and prepare. His words back then that resonate with me to this day, “that’s what you get for living in a hurricane area”. To this day I could give a poop less about an earthquake in California. In fact, the real tragedy about today’s earthquake? It wasn’t followed by a 9.0 on the Richter scale.

    I'm sure that there will be a go fund campaign to help the people of the quake.
