A Relaxing Day: Slow Mornings & Serene Moments

Sometimes the best luxury is a slower pace. Sip your coffee, savor the view, and let the day unfold.

You can’t go wrong with the Smoked Salmon Benedict and their signature Snohomish Coffee—infused with Skip Rock Distillery’s coffee liqueur.

Shop & stroll downtown.
Wander through locally owned boutiques, Lamb & Co.'s curated home décor, Uppercase Bookshop’s cozy reads, and 17,000 square feet of creative inspiration at Quilting Mayhem.

Treat yourself to a spa escape.

●      Sirona Skin + Soul features organic facials, Reiki, and sound baths.
 

Unwind at golden hour.
 Grab a gourmet picnic from Heidi’s Sandwich Board and relax at the riverfront gazebo—or dine in at Roger’s River Bistro for farm-to-table favorites. Want to stay in? Pick up a bottle from Blanc & Rouge or Randolph Cellars and get cozy fireside.
