Water Fill Trough

Traveling up the western side of Snoqualmie Pass was a steep climb and was hard on the early automobiles. In the heat of the summer, many a motorist became stranded because of an overheated auto. The assist these stranded travelers, the road dept built a water trough next to a year around spring in the side of the hill. The trough was built so horses could take a drink. 

Over the hundred year since it was built, the through became concealed by the thick grass that took advantage of the continuous water. After removal of a few inches of sod, the trough reappeared.
