Historically Bridge carried US 410, but it is now designated US 12. Obviously that establishment has been around awhile, possibly since 1955. About 100 miles west of Clarkston lies Walla Walla, where this photo was taken:

Today Business US 12 follows the route of historic US 410 along Isaacs Avenue through town. That was looking eastbound; the Blue Mountains are visible in the background. Note the "ghost" of 410, barely visible behind the numerals for "12".
Several other signs in Washington carry on the memory of US 410. Heading west from Walla Walla, one comes to the Tri-Cities. Pasco is home to the 4-10 Apartments: |

That was just off what is now I-182/US 12-395. That was probably not the original routing of US 410, but it certainly could have carried a later realignment.
Further west is Sunnyside, where there is still a 410 Market: |

Still further west, in Yakima, is another restaurant, as well as the Fruitvale 410 Drive-In Theatre:

The original owner of the drive-in found this webpage, and contacted usends.com to inform us that the neon part of the sign was erected in 1963 (when he built the original single-screen drive-in), and the "Cinema Centre" part was added in 1972, when he added an indoor theatre in the center of the drive-in. By 1974 there were a total of four screens in operation nightly, all serviced from one projection booth and one snack bar. As of 2006, the theatres are all closed, and the sign is all that remains... and even that is now painted over with an ad for a used car dealership.
