Historic lodge at Saint Edward State Park fully restored and welcoming guests The Lodge, which housed the St. Edward Seminary until 1976, has been fully restored and is now welcoming guests to stay and enjoy the rich history within. Author: Chris Cashman Updated: 7:34 PM PDT May 7, 2021 KING COUNTY, Wash. — After many years of dormancy, and many more in development, The Lodge at Saint Edward State Park in Kenmore has opened its doors, again. It's the same building that housed the St. Edward Seminary until 1976. The 326 acre land was sold to the state a year later and became the Saint Edward State Park. Since that time, the building has been vacant and is now bouncing back to life with a state-approved 62 year lease.
