Shumway Mansion, Kirkland

Shumway Mansion on seven acres in Kirkland overlooking Lake Washington houses a bed-and-breakfast and a conference center. Built in 1910, this mansion has 24 rooms and 10,000 square feet of living space. The mansion was renovated and opened as a bed-and-breakfast in 1985. The rooms are well-decorated, and the wonderful staff makes it a point to satisfy requests, and even to do more than is asked. And, of course, breakfast is excellent with fresh fruits and breads.
