Suncadia Resort Day Trip or Weekend From Seattle

How to get from Seattle or SeaTac to Suncadia, and what to do when you arrive.

Suncadia is a mountain resort near Cle Elum and Roslyn, on the east side of the Cascades. It is about 80 miles from Seattle, or about 1.5 hours by car over Snoqualmie Pass on I-90. Guests come for golf, the spa, hiking, a winery and quiet mountain weekends.

What to do at Suncadia

  • Golf: the resort has championship golf courses in a forest setting.
  • Spa and lodge: a full spa and restaurants at the lodge.
  • Trails and river: walking and biking trails along the Cle Elum River.
  • Swiftwater Cellars: a winery and restaurant with mountain views.
  • Winter: snowshoeing and a short drive to the Snoqualmie Pass ski areas.

Visit Roslyn and Cle Elum

Roslyn is a historic mining town next to Suncadia, where the TV show Northern Exposure was filmed. It has a small main street with cafes and an old brewery. Cle Elum, a few minutes away, is known for its old-style bakery and a stop for road-trip snacks.

Day trip or overnight?

A day trip works: leave Seattle in the morning, enjoy lunch, golf or the spa, and return in the evening. With an hourly chauffeur, your driver stays with you all day. Many guests prefer to stay one or more nights. Then we drive you there, and pick you up when your stay ends.

Snoqualmie Pass in winter

In winter, Snoqualmie Pass can have snow and ice, and chains may be required. We check pass conditions before every winter trip and plan extra time. Our SUVs are a good choice for snowy roads, and they carry golf clubs, skis and luggage.

Getting there from SeaTac

Flying in for a Suncadia weekend? We meet you at SeaTac Airport and drive you straight to the resort, with no rental car and no pass driving. See our Seattle to Suncadia car service and get your exact price online.

The service was exceptional and well worth the cost. We were so grateful that Carina was able to accommodate our pick up needs with less than 24 hours notice. It made the transfer to the airport after the cruise seamless, stress-free, and enjoyable.
