I totally remember this as a kid. I lived on the road between the hill and railroad tracks right below this. I can’t believe it’s still there!

My uncle lives in Edgewood and whenever we’d go to his house for bbq’s when we were kids, I looked forward to passing the smiley face 🙂

I remember seeing that all the time when I lived in Milton as a kid or going to wild waves. I'm so happy it's still there

I haven’t noticed it since I was a kid but usually I’m driving (too fast) around that corner 😅

I see these all over and they always make me think Red John is on the loose.

Is that pronounced Pu-Yah-Loop or Poo-Lay-loop. Always messes me up between Tulalip and Puyallup.

For sure…I’d add that the last syllable doesn’t have to “oo” sound. More like Pu-yah-lup

This is just down the road from my house. I smile every time I see it.

So what is the story behind it being there???

JayArrgh t1_is8sq8w wrote

No idea. I've looked for info and asked a few people that have lived here longer than I have and nobody knows anything. Just a random satellite dish turned happy face on the side of an arterial.

I remember seeing this as a kid going to the Fair, then finding it driving on my own many years later!

This has been here for at least 20 years. I remember seeing it as a kid and it's still there now.

I’m 31 and it’s been there for as long as I can remember too. Grew up off of Military rd, and saw it nearly every day growing up

I love driving past that big smiling face, and the mountain view right infront of you coming down is amazing

I always call it Smiley Hill, and I used to love when my grandfather would take us down it to get to Puyallup. I remember being young enough that it didn't have it's iconic smiley paint at some point !!!
