History
In 1917, Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Dollar purchased a farm in what would later be named Dollars Corner. The couple reportedly exchanged $150 and two cows for the land. They opened a small store and service station on one corner in 1924, which became a local landmark. One story claims that the name was coined by local sheriff’s deputies, who would report to their superiors that they traveled “as far as Dollar’s Corner.”
The landscape of Dollars Corner began to change drastically in 2012 as a result of the realignment of Washington State Route 502. Historical buildings situated directly on the corner were razed, with the exception of the former O’Brady’s Drive-In restaurant, which became the center of a protracted compensation dispute.
