AAA has awarded its prestigious Four Diamond rating to

Snoqualmie’s Salish Lodge & Spa for the 10th

year in a row and the Salish Lodge Dining Room for the ninth year in a row.

Fourteen other lodgings and five other restaurants from Washington state will

be awarded with the 2000 Four Diamond Award.

“The AAA Four Diamond winners take quality, consistency and

customer service to a higher level,” said

George Howell, AAA director of travel services. “They’re a cut above the

rest because they never lose sight of their first priority _ the guest,”

Howell added.

The Salish Lodge & Spa and the Salish Lodge Dining Room are

part of an elite circle of Four Diamond winners. Only 3 percent _

approximately 800 _ of the estimated 26,500 AAA-rated lodgings and 4 percent

_ approximately 475 _ of the estimated 11,000 restaurants attain this

high level of excellence.
