Welcome to the Heathman Lodge interior lobby. The architecture, fixtures, accessories, art and building materials were chosen to portray early life in the Northwest.
The spruce logs of the Lodge’s interior came from forests on the Yakima Indian Reservation. The lobby entrance’s floor is made of slate quarried in eastern Washington and selected for its deep, warm color. Rare, old Pendleton Indian blankets hang from the mezzanine banister. Kayak frames hanging beneath the mezzanine are replicas of 150-year old Inuit and Aleut sea kayaks used for hunting seal, walrus and whale in the icy seas of the far north. The lobby ceiling lights were forged from steel, mica, and leather into scenes depicting Northwest frontier life.
