The Lodge at St. Edward State Park is located in a serene Washington State Park, with tranquil old-growth forests, miles of hiking and biking trails, magnificent Lake Washington coastline, and endless opportunities for outdoor adventure right in our backyard. We have immense respect for the land where The Lodge resides, and invite you to join us in preserving the park for generations to come while enjoying the restorative energy the natural beauty delivers.
Prefer to take in the park views from afar? Lounge out on our lawn in Adirondack chairs and soak up the sun on a lazy afternoon.
Lawn games are available for guest use to get a game of cornhole or croquet going on a sunny summer day.
Set out on a nature hike or rent a mountain bike from the front desk, available for complimentary guest use to explore the park bike trails. Bikes are first come, first served.
Saint Edward State Park has inspired decades of artists, storytellers, writers, and historians, who have been awakened and enlightened by the power and beauty of the awe-inspiring natural setting. The Lodge at St. Edward continues to be a gathering place that celebrates and nurtures local artists. The Gallery of Fine Arts houses a rotating artist showcase – with all artists hailing from the Pacific Northwest, featuring pieces to admire and purchase at Catalyst Fine Art.
The Lodge is also home to an Artist in Residence program, a series of rotating local artists who will take inspiration from our surroundings to create, and give demonstrations of their craft through both private and public lessons. We invite our guests and the local community to wander the grand hallway and soak in the inspiration, come meet our Artists in Residence and learn from their craft, and join us in the appreciation and respect of art in all forms.
Step into a world of artistic inspiration at the Catalyst Artwalk, a monthly showcase at Catalyst Fine Art Gallery, offering a refined selection of works by PNW artists on the last Sunday of each month.
