- Maltby, Washington - Tall Latte Cup-Shaped Espresso Drive Thru
Ron Nardone, owner of the entire town of Maltby, has put in an espresso drive-thru. While Espresso in a town outside Seattle is not a big deal, this espresso drive thru is in the shape of a tall latte cup! Straw and all! While in Maltby take a look around at the 100's of old signs Mr. Nardone has on the walls of his buildings. He has Coke signs, Oil and Gas signs and so on. The entire town is made up of two buildings -- the old Maltby School House and the old Maltby Gym. Mr. Nardone has taken these two buildings and made them into a the Maltby Cafe, a rental hall and lots of shops.

Shankz Glow Golf is an indoor mini golf under black lights. Plus you play with 3D glasses that make it crazy! Great pit stop between Seattle and Portland.
[JenkinsFamily, 03/19/2010]David Ostrand of Shankz Glow Golf replies to our questions: "We just turned 2 years old this month. There are 18 holes done in three themes; Under Water, Jungle and Prehistoric. The 3D glasses are optional but kind of a fun twist. From the walls to the carpet, things appear to be floating (not for the car sick types)."
