Glacier Motel is located along what was originally Route 99 and is now called Pacific Highway East. It's still a busy place. You'll find it at the highway's intersection with the Port of Tacoma Road.

No view of Mt. Rainier today, but I don't doubt that they have a view when the weather is clear, at least the office might. The address is still Tacoma here, however the area would be considered part of the city of Fife, rather than Tacoma.
This is one of the many old motels along highway 99 that have managed to hang on after the highway was decommissioned. Sections of the highway that lie close to Interstate 5, such as this segment, tend to do better than the sections that are further away.
State: Washington
