Check out this totem pole sign for the Chieftain Restaurant in Tacoma, WA. If the pole doesn't catch the motorists attention, the character detail on top of the marquee will.

Back in 1947, Art Lacey started up the McLoughlin gas station which sat below a WWII bomber plane. Although the gas station is no longer there, an eatery called the Bomber Restaurant sits next to the plane featuring fine hot foods that sit well during cold days.

Colorful and attention grabbing, the Golden Pheasant Restaurant stays true to its name and features a multi-colored pheasant on its marquee. If you're ever passing through Sunnyside, be sure to pay this bird a visit.

It's the Safari Restaurant from Sunnyside, WA. The signage sports a fantastic Polynesian theme throughout. Just take a look at the detail on the shield. You may end up paying a visit inside and sample some local entertainment after marveling at this sight.

An interesting roadside attraction is the Twin TeePees Restaurant on Seattle's Aurora Ave./Hwy 99 which proclaims itself as "serving the best breakfast in town." This setup was prefabricated in California and trucked to this site on the Pacific Coast Highway in 1934.

 

UPDATE : The Twin Teepees, here in Seattle, has "gone to that great short order grill in the sky." Yes, this place was leveled at the end of July. Many thanks to Mike Fuller for update.

UPDATE : They had a big fire a couple of years ago and the place closed down for good-a real loss for Seattle, as it was one of the most distinctive restaurants in town in terms of its looks, and the food wasn't bad either. Many thanks to Janna Silverstein for update.

The Lariat Bar-B-Q marquee will whet your appetite. Another Yakima, WA treasure, the Lariat features barbeque and shakes. A great combo!

 

UPDATE 11/10 : Here another look at the Lariat Bar-B-Q sign at this Yakima establishment. Even if you're not hungry, a trip down West Yakima Avenue will make you turn your head at this sign. 11-10

Omar's Restaurant features a wonderful mid-century sign as well as paintings on the side of the restaurant building itself. This restaurant is a flashback to decades back.
