If you stay overnight in the car lot, use the 8 hour spots—there are only a few, on the right side just past the EV charge spots. Don't bother looking on the left side: those sites are either 1 or 4 hour limit. The car spots are nice and large, plenty for our 23 foot van with a foot or two to spare. Good Verizon signal.

Report Check-In

Okay stay. I stayed in 8 hour parking for about 15 hours, no issue. Some folks camping in busted out cars in 15 min parking, probably because it’s a bit quieter in the far 15 min parking section. Woke up to car doors slamming at 2am. A intentional honk at 5am woke me up again. Not the best, not the worst.

decent rest stop. clean. like others have said, every parking spot has a designated time limit. if you plan on sleeping over in the vehicle section- pull into an 8hr spot when you see them. once you pass them you are headed back to the freeway. the road through the rest area is one way and no way to loop back around.
( semi rigs running all night in the RV /truck section)

We stopped here for lunch. 20 spots for truck and rvs. 11 hours max. pretty leveled. clean rest area overall.

Clean restrooms. Good cell service. Fairly noisy.

It seems this spot has gone through a whole villain story arc. It may be on its redemption arc right now as it was fine for us. Limited 8hr spots so keep that in mind, though nobody was actually enforcing the time limits for one night.

Report Check-In

Very well maintained. too many different marked spots for time limits. 15min, 1 br, 4 hr and 8 hr spots. there is this adorable maybe 2 tenths of a mile walking path. it loops around back to where you entered. Great quick mini hike for your pet to enjoy the smells or you to get a good bit of movement in if you have been in the car all day. This place is under video surveillance

Report Check-In

not a single spot open when arrived late, many spots have time limits from 5min-8hours. Full of people living here long term, did drive by someone doing drugs in their car at 2 am.
Not a place I would stay

This has to be the worst-designed rest stop in America. A tiny unilluminated sign points large and small vehicles to different ramps with no way to loop back if you misread. The car lot is carved up into this bizarre and pointless 15/4/8 sectioning. There are perhaps three benches in the entire complex. The one nice thing is that you are far away from the trucks and RVs if you are overnighting in a van. Regardless, consider a rest area in Oregon instead.

Northbound Gee Creek -

Now has 2 EV stations. Car parking area in front - all spaces now have individually posted time limits. Only five are posted for 8 hours, rest are 15 min, 1 hour, and 4 hour.

Big rig parking in back - 20 pull through spaces, for both RVs and semis, no posted time limit.

8 hour limit, new rv area is way in the back, one of the furthest from the interstate I've ever seen. No semi trucks, might be peaceful to catch a few z's!

Report Check-In

stayed 1 night. no problems. highway noise all night despite trees seperating. flat area plenty of toilets water and garbage bins. 1 night is ok. no problems with homeless.

Report Check-In

AVOID. Full like every other rest area around Seattle with local homeless people taking up all the spots, sleeping even in spots that say 15min parking. better luck finding parking away from highways that lead to city

Report Check-In

Water and dump are free at this location. I’ve come here many times for that but only stayed the night once and it was fairly quiet but some kind a junky rigs/cars with tarps parked.

The northbound lot is always very full when I’ve come through at night and there is highway noise if you plan to sleep. All in all, it’s a good place to stop for free dump and water if you need it.
