Growlers, ice cream — everything you want from a gas station

LAKE STEVENS — Now this is what you call full service.

The newly constructed Trestle Station in Lake Stevens offers a lot more than the standard gas station. Yes, there’s gas, a car wash and even espresso.

But there’s also a growler bar with 30 beers on tap, a neighborhood market with a produce and hard liquor sections and an ice cream shop.

“Being born and raised in the Lake Stevens community, I hope to add a quick, clean and convenient shopping option with one stop to satisfy any needs, wants,” said owner Matt Monahan in an email.

The 18,000-square-foot retail center is located at 8011 20th St. SE, Lake Stevens, just down the road from the trestle. Monahan also owns the Pioneer Square 76 station, 719 91st Ave NE, Lake Stevens.

He built the Trestle Station on 6.63 acres to be close to the expanding Cavalero neighborhood .

The station opened in late May. Now, the Trestle Station plans to hold a grand opening from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday with free ice cream, free car washes and up to five gallons of propane for free per customer. There’s also drawings for the chance to win prizes including $100 gas cards.

The shops include the Scoops Station ice cream shop, Growler Station and Union Coffee Bar. There’s also space for future tenants.

“We hope Trestle Station serves as a hangout for the entire family, with ice cream, coffee, food, fuel and a car wash,” Monahan said.

Trestle Station was constructed by Corstone Contractors of Snohomish, designed by MJ Neal Associates Architects of Wenatchee and the project was managed by Halo Resources/MPS 55.
