Relaxation in Seattle!!


1. An urban float - a relaxing no gravity floating experience in a giant salt water pod. Very relaxing, you can opt for complete darkness or leave a blue light on. There are also subtle relaxation music under water. Before entering the pod, you must shower which is also available inside the room and put in earplugs. Shower afterwards as well. I tried the pod at urban float in Fremont.  While there you can swing by the Fremont troll, 2 minutes walking distant.


2. Salt mine arium - a salt therapy or also known as halo therapy. You are greeted and walked into one of two salt rooms, floors, ceilings are all salt slab, stone and brick like salt structures.  The therapy to help with respiratory issues, headaches, inflammation and more. A session is 45 minutes long, where you sit in a zero gravity chair in a reclining position and the owner cover you in a blanket then proceed to turn on a machine that flows the salt into the room while all the salt structure changes lights and put a relocation show.  Spa music is played the entire session. Located in Bellevue



3. Suncadia Resort & Spa - is a wonderful home away from home, especially for folks living and working in the city like us.  Suncadia has the most breath taking expansive mountain views and river view, it looks like it is located in the Swiss Alps. Our first trip there, we stayed at the Suncadia Inn as oppose to the Suncadia Lodge.  We had a balcony room which is standard at the Inn facing the resort instead of the mountain view / golf course.  At the Inn, breakfast is included, at the Lodge, it is not. The room at the Inn is an equivalent to the One bedroom Suite at the Lodge in appearance. It was amazing, big Jacuzzi tub, fireplace, two rocking chairs on the balcony, king size bed, awesome rain shower, nice TV (does not work with an Apple TV though), keurig machine, coffee, teas and 2 robes.

The resort has a spa located by the main Lodge that has 3 coed hot springs, 1 female only and 1 male only. The cost is $60 a day just to use or if you book anything at the spa, it's included.  The spa has it own menu which is prepared by the main Lodge kitchen so ordering can take up to an hour before you would get your food, however, it is extremely worth the wait.  The food at the spa as well as every restaurants at the Lodge are exceptional and they are generous with their portions.  The spa menu for services are also reasonable and standard comparable to other spas, however, their massage therapist are also exceptional (very experienced, does amazing with a deep tissue as well relaxation massages), they also do specialty services such cupping) in comparison to other resorts.

The ambiance of the spa is serene and absolutely divine.  There are outside seating on lounge chaise on both side of the waiting area with beautiful man made creeks and ponds, with amazing landscaping. Inside, there are giant bean bag seats as well comfortable oversize recliners.  There are also a make your own tea bag station with a variety of loose tea to create your own blend.
