DES MOINES, Wash. —
Firefighters were having trouble reaching flames in the basement of the building, on Washington 99, just north of South 272nd Street.
The 64-year-old restaurant dating back to the roadhouse era burned in a fire reported at 3:30 this morning.
Landmark Restaurant Goes Up In Flames
The restaurant was opened in 1939, nine years after the paving of what was then U.S. 99 -- the principal north-south route along the West Coast before Interstate 5 was built.
The signature dish at Rose's was old-fashioned pan-fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy.
