| Do Not Disturb: In Search of a Nearby Vacation For that much needed getaway fix, why not enjoy a staycation right in your own backyard? You don’t have to travel far to find the rest and relaxation you need and deserve—or put much time and effort into it either. Instead of leaving town, live like you’re on a vacation close to home. No need to travel far to be creative. Here are two of our favorite local places to find a quick and restful escape. Salish Lodge - Overlooking the Snoqualmie Falls sits Salish Lodge, a quick 30 minute drive from Seattle. Salish features rooms with wood burning fireplaces and oversized jetted tubs. For true luxury, try the Signature package (starts at $619), which offers two spa treatments, a three-course dinner, and breakfast the following morning. Insiders tip: Ask for a room close to the falls, but note that you will hear the rush of the water. If that’s not what you want, opt for an inside room. If you can’t make a weekend of it, take the one mile hike down to the bottom of the falls for a breathtaking view from below. | ||

| Connecting with the customer: Salish’s Murphy shares business philosophy”, an article written by Seth Truscott, follows the history and philosophy of John Murphy, Salish Lodge & Spa’s general manager. Hailing from the east coast, and after graduating from the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park, N.Y., Murphy found his first job in the kitchen at a French restaurant in Princeton, N.J. He quickly began to see the bigger picture, that he couldn’t control the customer, the dining experience or the facility. When he decided to leave the kitchen behind in favor of restaurant and hospitality operations, he said, “I took away what guest service really means”. Murphy’s philosophy is all about connecting with the customer. “Many times, you can become close to a customer when there is a complaint, he said. They’re willing to come to you. You have to listen, to be able to turn that around with a solution. Now you have a customer that’s loyal.”. In discussing Salish’s nearly-completed guest room renovation project, Murphy stated, “We’re always continuing to reinvent, to evolve, to look at the next level of guest service”, while staying true to legacy and tradition that Salish is known for. A six-year employee of Columbia Hospitality, Inc. which operates Salish, Murphy has previously worked for the company at Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle, and Cedarbrook Conference Center in Sea-Tac, Washington. | ||
