Lois's Drive-In, Orondo, WA
After some Googling, I found this building or originally a post office built in the 1940s, and became a diner likely in the late 1970s. A gem of a nostalgic find off Highway 2 in Washington.

Farmer's Community Hall, Withrow, WA
Found this 1917 gem along Highway 2 in Eastern Washington. Scenic USA has a good write-up on this area, and how a line of small farming towns sprung up with the arrival of the Great Northern Railroad in the late 1890s.
