The Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle closed St. Edward in 1976 and sold it to the State of Washington in 1977.

The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission entered into an agreement with Daniels Realty Development to completely restore the historic Seminary building.

The grand opening of the new Lodge at Saint Edward Park as a hotel, spa and restaurant was May 7, 2021.
