The Lodge at St. Edward Park is now entering its fifth year of operation, and the owner has proposed renovations to accommodate a Nordic spa operated by a leading operator from Canada (StrØm). The proposal includes interior building renovations within the existing Lodge and Wald Memorial Swimming Pool Building, as well as limited exterior site improvements. Shannon & Wilson assisted the owner with State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) compliance.  

Our environmental planning team strategized with the owner and operator on how to comply with all local and state requirements, analyzed possible environmental impacts through a SEPA lens, and wrote an Addendum to the previously adopted Final EIS for issuance by the City.  As of June 2026, the SEPA Addendum is accepted by the City and the owner has submitted permits for clearing, grading, and engineering.
