State Parks OKs Kenmore lease

By JOURNAL STAFF

OLYMPIA — The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission voted on Monday to accept a 62-year lease with Daniels Real Estate to rehabilitate the Saint Edward Seminary Building at Saint Edward State Park near Kenmore.

As part of the agreement, Daniels agreed to purchase a 9.7-acre private property next to the park and transfer it to State Parks in exchange for use of the historic building as a lodge.

The building would have up to 100 guest rooms, meeting space, a spa and fitness center, and a restaurant and cafe.

Daniels and State Parks Director Don Hoch signed the lease agreement and property transfer on Monday. Once the property transfer is finalized, the lease will take effect.

“We're very excited to know that this incredible iconic building will be saved for the public to enjoy,” Hoch said in a statement.

The proposed rehab project must still be approved by the Kenmore City Council, which could happen as soon as early March.
