Zillah, Washington - Teapot Dome Gas Station

In a recent article in the Yakima paper, they discussed the need for financial help to move this landmark. It will cost about $250,000 to move and fit out as an information booth. The State of Washington has designated this building as one of the "state's most endangered historic properties," While I don't know how to contact them, a group calling themselves "Friends of the Teapot" has been formed to work on raising the money for this necessary move.

We stopped by the Teapot Dome gas station and were sad to see that it's boarded up. I sure hope they can find a way to save and make good use of this place. Gosh, it seems like the perfect building for a coffee stand. Heck, we've got one on just about every corner up here in the PNW anyway. Sad. [Judy, 04/26/2007]

I just visited the station on 11-29-06 and was pleased to see that the reported vandalism was not visible. Some grafitti was painted over but the station is intact. It looks great in the snow! I have corrected the HWY 82 exit directions, which is actually exit #54. [Phil Pasquini, 12/03/2006]
