Directions:

Get to the Valley Freeway (highway 167). If you’re coming from the north, take the SW 41st St. exit; turn left at the light to head south on East Valley Rd., then another left at the next light to head east uphill on SW 43rd St. If you’re coming from the south, take the SW 43rd St. exit; and turn right at the end of the ramp to head east uphill on SW 43rd St.

From both directions: As you wind up the hill, SW 43rd St. becomes Carr Rd. At the top of the hill, you cross 108th Ave SE (Benson Highway) at a light. As you continue east, you’re now on 176th St. At the next light, turn left onto 116th Ave SE, heading north. On your right, you’ll pass a post office, then the R Bar tavern, then a strip mall, then a casino/bowling alley. Willy’s is located behind the Domino’s Pizza.

BULLETIN (if you’re coming from the south): Check to see if on-going work on the I-405 S curves is causing a big backup on 167 northbound. If so, avoid it by taking the 212th exit just north of the Kent S curve. Proceed east uphill on 212th which becomes 208th. Turn left onto the Benson Highway (108th) to head north 2 miles to the Carr/176th intersection, then right onto 176th. As you continue east, you’re now on 176th St. At the next light, turn left onto 116th Ave SE, heading north. On your right, you’ll pass a post office, then the R Bar tavern, then a strip mall, then a casino/bowling alley. Willy’s is located behind the Domino’s Pizza.
