History of Alderbrook

Alderbrook Resort and Spa has been a staple in Union dating back to 1913. When Alderbrook first opened there were no roads to access the Resort, instead guests arrived by a steamer and were launched the remainder of the way. Mr. Strumer was the first person to operate Alderbrook Resort which at the time was named Alderbrook Inn. Mr. Strumer owned the hotel for 12 years before selling it off.

How to be a Better Bride

Good Morning All,

Here at Alderbrook we hold many weddings each year and are always looking for ways to help out brides so that their day is perfect. Recently we received some information about a great class conducted by one of our wedding planner friends Jennifer Taylor of Taylor'd Events by Jennifer.

Jennifer teaches a class called "Be a Better Bride." This class gives brides, grooms, parents, and anyone who is involved with the wedding detailed information about what it takes to plan a wedding. This class will provide you with learning how to create a budget, planning a timeline, working with vendors, and other "insider information" that will make your day a success.

Classes are being offered at Lake Washington Technical College for $100 per couple. Dates available are July 25th, August 8th, August 15th, August 22nd, October 3rd, October 17th, and November 14th from 9:30am-5:30pm. More information is available on Jennifer's website at taylordeventsbyjen.com

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!

Springtime at Alderbrook

Wow! I did not realize it had been so long since I had written. The weather has just been way to nice at Alderbrook to sit inside all day.

These past two weekends we have been very busy especially out on our dock. There were people kayaking and boats coming in that had been out shrimping (those are my favorite kinds of boats).

Well I am going to go catch a few more rays of sunshine before it becomes cloudy and rainy tomorrow.

Enjoy the day,
-Brook
