EAT
Vader, Washington

It was just a bit north over the county line in Lewis County not far from this ancient giant EAT sign (just as easily seen on Interstate 5 today as it was when it was displayed on the Oregon Trail during the time this little cafe served the pioneers), that my ancestors first settled in Washington Territory in the mid-1870s.
