Woodinville-area park gets go-ahead for private hotel
Earlier this month, the Washington Parks and Recreation Commission approved a proposal to renovate a building at St. Edward State Park and turn it into a private hotel. The park is located in Kenmore, about five miles from Woodinville, Washington, and the building was once a seminary.
Daniels Real Estate, a Seattle company, will lease the building after first renovating it and turning it into a small hotel with between 80 and 100 units, as well as a restaurant and spa. The hotel will also offer room for a conference center, and space to be used for programs in environmental education.
The building once belonged to the Seattle Catholic Archdiocese and was used to train priests for 40 years. However, the building became the property of the city when it bought the park from the diocese in 1977. Although the seminary has earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places, it has not been used for decades and is deteriorating.
Daniels is no stranger to historic restorations, having worked on a number of projects in the area, including the Starbucks Center, King Street Station, and Union Station. Daniels says the proposed hotel will enhance the experience for park users by opening up to the public a building that would otherwise be abandoned.
Projects like this can benefit if developers work with a newsletter printing company, which can create an informative letter for area residents, explaining the project.
