WHERE: Salish Lodge and Spa seated at the edge of Snoqualmie Falls (6501 Railroad Ave., Snoqualmie; 425.888.2556; salishlodge.com. $199–$339).
WHY: Start the new year off right with a mountain retreat minus the white-knuckle stress of driving over a snowy mountain pass. And Twin Peaks fans will want to celebrate the news that the iconic TV series—which was set at the lodge and the falls—will return with new episodes.
WHAT: After checking in and checking out your room (be sure to request riverside quarters), sign up for Yoga by the Falls (Vinyasa Flow or Gentle Yoga classes, $25/person) in the new Hidden Terrace room, featuring floor-to-ceiling views of the water crashing over the rocks.
RELAX: Head to the spa for one of four New Year–inspired treatments (20 percent discount for yoga participants), such as the Bubbly Body Scrub, a Champagne-infused salt scrub with a full body massage.
GET BUZZED: The property features an apiary with 12 busy beehives, so be sure to try the new honey cider ($19.95), made with Salish Lodge honey by winemakers at Treveri Cellars.
