Salish Lodge at Snoqualmie Falls

Snoqualmie, Washington

LONG-TIME WASHINGTON RESidents often tell jokes about interminable rain in the Evergreen state, and about their fond hope that the constant threat of torrential downpour will keep tourists from residing permanently in their state.

But for those couples who nevertheless plan their vacations around the damp greenery that is the Pacific Northwest, an overnight stay at the

Salish Lodge is highly recommended. Perched at the crest of the Snoqualmie Falls, this beautiful country inn offers uncompromised comfort and style in a stunning natural setting. Spacious accommodations, complete with fireplaces and in-room whirlpools, are complemented by excellent Northwest cuisine. And time in the rooftop spa is the perfect end to a day spent twisting throttles on some of Washington’s best backroads.

Although the Snoqualmie Valley boasts numerous tourist attractions, those aforementioned roads will be the appeal to adventuresome motorcyclists. Plush, green forests line the well-maintained asphalt that snakes throughout the state. Wonderful aromas abound, and so do breathtaking vistas.

Located on Highway 202, just 35 minutes east of Seattle, the Salish Lodge provides the perfect backdrop for some of the country’s best motorcycling.
