About Salish Lodge & Spa

Address: 6501 Railroad Ave, Snoqualmie, WA 98065

Salish Lodge & Spa is an elegant lodge that’s located 30-minutes away from Seattle. If you live in Seattle, it’s the perfect escape from the city. If you don’t, it’s still worth visiting for a relaxing stay atop Snoqualmie Falls.

It’s a part of Snoqualmie history, as the original was called The Snoqualmie Falls Lodge. It was an inn with 8 rooms back in 1916 with the main purpose of being a rest stop for travelers.

The Country Breakfast is what made it famous, as the travelers would eat it before going over the mountain pass.

In 1988, it was remodeled and became The Salish Lodge. It’s proudly owned by the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe and offers a luxurious and relaxing place to stay.
