You can find the town of Wilkeson, Washington, northeast of Mount Rainier National Park, on the road to its Carbon River Trail entrance. The town is nestled among the forest-covered foothills of the great mountain and has preserved the picturesque but strangely angled buildings of its small main street. I visited in September 2021 as a part of my “Trail of Trails” tour for Travel Tacoma, and inhaled some wood-fired pizza at the Carlson Block restaurant and homemade rhubarb soda at the nearby Simple Goodness Soda Shop.
