Salish Lodge pros and cons PRO: Location. It’s hard to beat. Snoqualmie Falls always are a beautiful sight, especially during heavy runoff. And the 30-minute drive from Seattle is an easy ride.

Its largest room is the Salish Ballroom which can accommodate 180 people in a theatre-style setting. Catering, team building activities and audiovisual equipment are available.

When The Dining Room at Salish Lodge was last reviewed in these pages in 1992, my predecessor John Hinterberger only addressed breakfast, awarding it 2½ stars.
