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.

The interior features a front upholstered bench seat, rear 'L' seat, and back bench seat, privacy roll-up divider window between the front and back, air conditioning, plush seating, pillows, wine glasses, video and stereo system, and a moon roof.
The Lodge at St. Edward State Park has a rich history, with decades of stories living within our walls. Dating back to the 1920s, Saint Edward Seminary was built as a sacred place of learning, and later preserved as a pristine Washington State Park. Take the journey from past to present with our self-guided Stories of St. Edward tour. Venture throughout the property to find QR codes each linking to a history lesson, photo gallery, or video that tells the story of the space you stand in, the significance it holds to the property, and the heritage of this iconic landmark preserved in time.
Our region is home to an eclectic collection of musicians, poets, spoken-word performers, and more. The Lodge intends to be a home away from home for these artists and features live music performances weekly in our restaurants and bars. We also partner with the city of Kenmore, the Bothell Kenmore Chamber of Commerce, and other groups to sponsor concerts in the park and community events in our backyard.
