Wholly Moses Lake
Greetings from Grant County, Washington. I love this place: it's given the blog so much material.
Fun fact about Moses Lake: out in the middle of the desert, you might look up to see a big old Japan Air Lines jet swooping in or taking off, training JAL pilots. This would explain all the Japanese restaurants.
Another fun fact: a sign on I-90 claims that Grant County produces more potatoes than any other county in the United States. Now my wife is a fiercely partisan Idahoan, with a nose that can detect a potato processing plant at 20 miles. When she saw the sign proclaiming Grant County spud supremacy, she used not one but two expletives. That was probably the wrong time to announce that the best potato I've ever eaten was in fact a Watato.

Grant county is the largest potato producing country. If your wife couldn't detect the potato plant (which is only five minutes off the highway) that was probably because of the sugar beet plant that smells worse than any slaughter house.
