Crystal Mountain Resort closes on the purchase of the Rodeway Inn in Enumclaw, WA


ENUMCLAW, WA, March 10, 2026 – As of February 20, 2026, Crystal Mountain Ski Resort has officially acquired the Rodeway Inn in Enumclaw, WA, an exciting step that advances the resort’s commitment to expanding workforce housing, supporting its seasonal workforce, and deepening its partnership with the surrounding community.

“Great guest experiences are built from great employee experiences,” said John Jachim, VP of Human Resources for Crystal Mountain. “Crystal Mountain has been exploring solutions that more closely connect our team with Enumclaw and foster a stronger community for everyone. We are thrilled with the location and possibilities of this property.”

Crystal Mountain has renamed the property “The Northway Notch,” after a storied place of adventure at Crystal Mountain between Northway and Morning Glory Peaks. The property will be converted to seasonal workforce housing for up to 80 employees beginning next winter. Crystal Mountain also plans to extend transportation services to support employees living at this location.

At this time, the resort does not plan to continue operating the property as a nightly lodging property. The motel site at Roosevelt Ave. E. and 284th Ave. SE was operating as a Rodeway Inn franchise prior to the transaction. The property’s former owner discontinued its franchise hotel services and guest lodging as of February 18, 2026. Guests seeking nightly accommodations are encouraged to pursue alternative lodging within the local community.
