Washington Roadside Attractions

Welcome to Washington, the Evergreen State—where roadside attractions sprout up like mushrooms after a Pacific Northwest rainstorm! From quirky trolls to giant eggs, this state knows how to keep road trippers entertained. Start your adventure under the watchful gaze of the Fremont Troll, a hulking concrete critter hiding out under a Seattle bridge, clutching a real-life Volkswagen Beetle as if it’s his afternoon snack. And if oversized breakfast items are your thing (and honestly, whose aren’t?), make sure to check out Winlock’s claim to fame: the World’s Largest Egg. It’s egg-cellent and egg-straordinary in every way!

Swing by Hat & Boots Park in Seattle, where a massive cowboy hat and a pair of equally enormous boots once served as a gas station and now sit as a charming reminder of days gone by. Or take a peek at Washington’s Largest Frying Pan, a record-breaking skillet that could fry up enough bacon for an entire town picnic. Don’t miss Mary Lou’s Milk Bottle, a building that’s, well, shaped exactly like its name implies. It’s a milkshake-lover’s paradise and an ode to simpler times when roadside attractions were as wholesome as the creamy goodness they celebrated.

So grab your map (or your GPS), pack a sense of humor, and prepare to explore Washington’s weird, wonderful, and oh-so-photogenic roadside treasures!
