Couple things..i stay at this rest area due to temporary circumstances..im not a transient..as biff clark states there is there that stay there..its a safe place..and i have only seen one thing happen ..which was not transient..was a traffic stop ..arrest..the other was jyst recent d.o.t worker very rude with a attitude made a comment about me staying in my car..and made a very serious unacceptable comment ..when i told him he needs to be humbel ..i understand he doesnt like his job and i get it that there are people that dont care what mess they leave however his judgement he cast on me was uncalled for and i at that point reframed from complimenting him..glad to have a place to go so there is no issues..id be glad to do his job..and have a home..not a transient drug addict or indigent..none of us are..society is putting us here!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your time...
on Friday evening, my man and I plus our 17 yrs old son, we had just pulled off to use the lou.when and officer knocked and said they were clearing out the place due to troublemakers and fires in the bathrooms. told us to move on after checking i.d.
No you can't stay at any rest stops in Washington, State you are only allowed to stay 1 hour that is it
As already stated you can stay for 8 hours to rest I have done it many times. Not sure if you had a negative experience or what?
In Washington state there is an 8hour limit at interstate rest stops car or RV. Its a safety issue and Sleeping inside your car is permitted BUT NOT outside your car. I,e. Can't pitch a tent. Wal-Mart patking lots permit car camping as well.
Yeah walmarts... but not city of marysville, broken rig, 480bucks in walmart receipts over 18hrs... police made us leave... said we were camping... didn't care that we had bucko receipts, who the heck WANTS to stay at walmart... I work the coffee stands alot...staff put up with a lot... and if they are short or grumpy, its cause they had to do something they didnt want to have to do... so maybe just smile at them.. they are people like us... did you ever have a nice job you enjoyed but it kinda weighed on you after a couple of years... it's the same... they work hard, I see it, sometimes a smile or kind words can really turn your day around..try it, maybe next time you stop there it will be a different and better experience.
