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. [5] 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." [6]
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. [7] [8]
