    Yakima, WA ships a ton of produce. Cle Elum is on the way back toward Yakima. I also picked up frozen food, seafood, grocery stuff in the Kent, WA area, north of Sumner. You can pay for TA parking in the store, IIRC.

    Loves in Tacoma 33rd Ave. Typical Loves. New drivers like bright colors. Moths to a flame.

    From what I remember of that place it is always full and very tight parking. Never a good choice.

    It was remodeled a few years ago. If you're able to blindside, there's usually a space. I'll go there after Sumner or Fred Myers before leaving the area. The area has a high turnover so trucks are always in and out.
    Also Sumner Truck Plaza paid parking, Ernie's Fuel paid parking, pullout at Tiger Mountain Trailhead on 18.

    I believe Sumner Truck Plaza parking rates are for a 12 hour period only.

    That's gotta be Cle Elum.
    I hope you pick up there or Yakima and not back toward the dirty, crime-ridden, moss-covered cities ;-)
