The Seattle metro area offers an infinite variety of options for couples to enjoy a romantic getaway. From strolling in the outdoors to dining at a waterfront table, the ways that you can spend quality time with each other are endless. Your romantic Seattle getaway begins with your choice of accommodations. Here are my recommendations for romantic hotels and lodgings that are in or very near the Seattle/Tacoma metro region.
Salish Lodge
Salish Lodge & Spa is located in the small town of Snoqualmie, just a short drive east from Seattle. A favorite romantic weekend getaway spot, the Lodge overlooks scenic Snoqualmie Falls. You can enjoy fine or casual dining on the premises, including bountiful breakfasts. Featuring Northwest-inspired Asian decor, the spa facilities provide a simply beautiful place to de-stress. The Salish Spa offers package deals that can include lodging, meals, golf, and spa services.Willows Lodge
Willows Lodge, a rustically-luxurious inn and spa, is located in Woodinville. Plan in advance and get coveted reservations at the adjacent Herbfarm Restaurant, where you can enjoy four-star dinners that feature ingredients from their very own herb garden. Willows Lodge is within walking distance of the Chateau Ste. Michelle and Columbia wineries and the Redhook Brewery.
