Indian John Hill Rest Area

The restrooms were clean and the free coffee volunteers were there this afternoon.

Once again, it’s a rest area!
Once again, the dryers are still the same. From many years ago.
Once again, the bathrooms are clean.
Once again, they have vending machines.
Once again, the only people who spend more than 5 minutes here are truckers parked sleeping.

Beautiful Clean Rest Area Commemorates Our Armed Forces
SITREP
Along The Blue Star Memorial Highway (Interstate 90) lies this Rest Area, and this stop pays tribute to our Armed Forces that have defended the United States.
THE SETUP
In the middle of I-​90 between Seattle & Spokane, this is a most fortuitous rest area to sneak up on when you least it expect it. It has everything you need:
* Clean Restrooms WITH Toilet Paper (don’t take TP for granted)
* Soda Machines & Vending Machines
* German Tourists with some great chocolate!
* Grassy areas for pet-​romping
* Picnic tables to chill, gather, play a round of «Card Against Humanity», etc.
* Some pretty nice people to meet at random
If they just had an ice machine, then it would be TOTALLY perfect.
THE LOWDOWN
A great chill-​time rest stop with some basic sundries to be had.

A large rest stop, plenty of parking and always very clean in spite of being busy. A perfect place to stop after a couple hours of driving.

It’s clean and the soap smells really nice — like marzipan!
Safe spot to catch a nap too if you’ve gotten tired.
I never seem to catch the free coffee via donation folks.

This is the first rest stop after the pass! After the rock blasting and lines from construction it’s a must to stop!
This rest stop has lots of bathrooms, there was no line which is always a plus when you’re trying to make a quick stop. They had soap and seat covers which is always a plus for a rest stop.
Another nice feature of this rest stop is the huge dog park area if you want to walk your dog as well. There are park benches for a snack. It’s cool how various groups volunteer to do snacks and coffee at this location.

I usually stop at the one that is on I-​90 going Eastbound. There is always easy parking, it’s clean and the bathrooms are acceptable (but what’s with the weird stall doors that are 3 ft off the floor??).

I just had to pee somewhere where it was legal.

Indian John Hill is a family favorite for the free hot chocolate, clean rest rooms and ample parking.
The lot is always plowed in the winter and shady in the summer. The pet area is welcoming and not just an afterthought.
I enjoy the nice views & a generally welcoming environment.

I have stopped at this rest area over the years hundreds of times
always clean facilities, almost always have a group there with free coffee
and lots of eye candy
Washington state decided to end the free WiFi at the rest areas across the state that sucks

This stop was a great experience from exit to on ramp. The fresh blacktop was painted with large parking spots with plenty of handicap stalls. There is a doggy doodie area with picnic tables so people can eat and watch their dogs do. the doo-​doo. The women’s bathroom was unbelievably clean – not one piece of anything on the floor and no funky odors. Each stall was stocked with toilet paper and seat guards. This is the first time I’ve found a soap dispenser filled with the more economic foam soap, and the hand dryer worked like a charm.
This time, however, the best feature was not WIFI access; it was the concession stand offering free coffee and cookies (donations accepted, of course). And if that doesn’t interest you, there are vending machines nearby. Pay phones are aplenty, too. There is plenty of green grass where a number of picnic tables sit beneath numerous pine trees. It’s a remarkably peaceful place for a rest area.
WiFi, vending machines, free cookies and coffee.? It’s as if someone’s grandmother has taken up residency at I-90’s mile post 89 and made it her labour of love.
