KING COUNTY, Wash. — After many years of dormancy, and many more in development, The Lodge at Saint Edward State Park in Kenmore has opened its doors, again. 

It's the same building that housed the St. Edward Seminary until 1976. The 326 acre land was sold to the state a year later and became the Saint Edward State Park. Since that time, the building has been vacant and is now bouncing back to life with a state-approved 62 year lease.

The renovation project led by Daniels Real Estate has been underway for years and was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, but it's now mostly complete and ready to welcome guests. 

The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation was among the guests Friday for the official ribbon cutting. King County Executive Dow Constantine and Congresswoman Suzan DelBene also attended and gave speeches to validate the importance of protecting historic properties.
