Bogachiel State Park
Bogachiel State Park has great camping sites as far as facility goes, but it is a little close to the highway for my taste. They have showers, but bring quarters to turn them on and keep them going.
Olympic National Park
Olympic National Park is a great place for camping and hiking at all skill levels. There are numerous camp sites in and around the park and plenty of places to visit on side trips including hot springs, the beach and various indian reservations
Express Ice Cream Tacos
We got hamburgers, ice cream, coffee, scrambled eggs, and sandwiches here on multiple occassions while on our way camping up state route 20. Pretty good food for out in the middle of nowhere. Worth a stop.
Shawn O'donnell's
Great food, Great atmosphere. They are family friendly with toys and activities for the kids. Their food is top notch, especially the irish food. We come here often with the whole family and everyone gets something they like. The prices are good too. They have a bar and are definitely serious about St. Patricks day as well.
Java Juggs Espresso
Java Juggs should be restricted as Adult Entertainment instead of being allowed a full glass booth for the bikini girls to show off to everyone driving by no matter what age they are.
La Palmera Family Mexican Restaurant
I agree, La Palmera Family Mexican restaurant has pretty good food. They have a great atmosphere too. The place is usually packed. They need a larger parking lot.
Kidd Valley Burgers & Shakes
Very good burgers and shakes. They have garlic fries which are really garlicy if you like that sort of thing. This is the place to go for just a burger if you don't mind the sticker shock.
La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant
Our favorite mexican restaurant in the area. We get steak fajitas and chicken burrito. The kids like the kids menu. Some days (Tuesdays?) they have a live Mariachi band which was fun for the kids. The food is always good. The atmosphere is well done. The staff is always very friendly and the prices are reasonable too.
J M. Gaddis, DC
I went here for the 2 years I lived in Lake Stevens. I mostly saw Dr. Gaddis. He is friendly and even let me bring my baby in with me. Unfortunately he didn't remember my name half the time I went which was at least once a month.
Taco Guaymas
Taco Guaymas definitely has very good food. They even have a drive through window. Their dine-in or takeout is fast too. I've eaten here a few times. I got the steak burrito both times.
