“Stopped for gas and there were plenty of pumps. It does have some of the cheaper gas prices in the area so it was pretty busy. I didn’t have any problems getting to a pump with a big full size van. The cashier was really nice and they have a good sized connivence store that has everything for a pit stop.”

“BEST convenience store ever! Being in our 50’s and travelers we have been to many over the years. We frequent the Winlock Shell station several times per month. We have NEVER had a bad experience. The bathrooms are ALWAYS clean, staff are helpful and friendly and their hot food bar is always tasty and fresh. They even have a covered picnic area with a spectacular view of Mt. St Helens AND Mt. Rainier.”

“This was my first time stopping here, and honestly, nothing really stood out that would make me go out of my way to come back. That said, it looked like a safe place to pull over and fill up the car, which is important when you're traveling through an unfamiliar area. The convenience store was pretty much what you'd expect, with plenty of snacks, candy bars, drinks, and other essentials. I didn't have any issues during my visit, and everything seemed to be in good order. One thing worth mentioning is that the restroom was clean and acceptable, which is always appreciated when you're on the road. Overall, it was a straightforward stop with no problems and served its purpose well.”
