The Northwest sure has a thing for its public toilets. There's Bainbridge Island's $300,000 "Taj Mahal of public restrooms" and the City of Seattle's five self-cleaning public toilets that have cost nearly $4.3 million to operate. Now Mount Rainier National Park is preparing a big ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday for its new $70,000 bio-toilet. Seattlest blogs the toilet uses cedar chips and composts the waste naturally, with "very little water or odor." The toilet is at the Cougar Rock Campground and was a gift from Groundwork Mishima, a Japanese non-profit group that promotes volunteerism at Mount Fuji and has a "sister mountain" relationship with the park.
