I used to drive 6 hours total to visit Lynnwood’s Olympus Spa, so you know it’s good. It is spacious, clean, and has excellent food. Sorry guys, this is a women-only spa.
This is the only Korean Spa in this corner of the PNW so it does get crowded. However, every time I’ve visited it has been kept spotless by an ever-present cleaning crew.
Skip the traditional massage and go straight for their signature body scrubs and wet room treatments — trust me on this one. Pro tip: While the spa provides robes and towels, bring your own water bottle to stay hydrated with their fruit-infused water.
Their in-house restaurant, Pot and Pan, serves up surprisingly excellent Korean comfort food that hits different after a good sweat session. It does close early, unfortunately, so make sure to bibimbap midday. I love the addition of their tea room (though weekend warriors, take note: it’s closed on Saturdays and Sundays).
Book your treatments a few days in advance if you want to go on a weekend.
