The Poodle Dog...a Fife landmark...
If you were driving down Highway 99 back in the '30s and '40s, one of the places you'd be sure to spot was The Poodle Dog Restaurant in Fife. It's still there, sporting a pink-and-white neon poodle out front. The food and prices are excellent.

| Notes: Today, we all checked out of the Days Inn Fife (where they are giving us a great rate; thank you), when we decided to check back in for another night. We want to get on the local news in Seattle tomorrow, so we'll stick around for that. So, we basically just did laundry and worked on media stuff today. We also ate at a "Fife restaurant icon" called the Poodle Dog Restaurant, where our server lady had us rolling in our booth. She was hilarious. And that's about it for today. After interviews tomorrow, we should be rolling on to Portland, Oregon. (N.O.) | ||
