Best Bath Houses in Kirkland

"This spa in South Lake Union is based on the tradition of Russian banyas, Finnish saunas and the like. Entry to the spa gives guests use of the Parilka (a sauna made of concrete and brick for penetrating heat), a Turkish steam room, a saltwater tepid pool (kept at 87 degrees), a cold plunge pool, a hot pool (kept at 104 degrees) and a tea lounge and nap room. For an additional fee, book a massage, body treatment or facial—or one of the packages available."

"This spa is well known and loved by Seattleites so you know we had to include it. Banya 5 is pretty much the place to head if you’re in need of a relaxing day, scrub, or serious bodywork massage. But keep in mind they are only doing massages at this time."

"Ancient Asian healing rituals blend harmoniously with modern-day spa luxuries and PNW vibes at Bellevue’s swanky Yuan Spa. In addition to first-rate body treatments, highlights of the Yuan Spa experience include a mood-lit steam sauna and complimentary refrigerated cold towels, eye-relaxing cucumber slices and exfoliating salt-scrub bars. Forty-five bucks gets you a day’s access to everything but personalized treatments from the spa’s trained professionals."

"Come on over to the Eastside for some luxurious pampering in an unexpected space. Tucked into a Bellevue megatower, this newish, 8,000-square-foot spa combines swank with traditional, all the while honoring owner Z Zhang's Chinese roots. Think pedicures, body scrubs, massage treatments and a communal bathing area."

"And finally, we have to cap the list with Yuan Spa which offers your classic spa services. But they have a focus on Eastern Hollistic practices so you can also have services like cupping. So if you’re looking to try something new be sure to check out Yuan Spa."

"Year after year, this waterfront Seattle spa receives positive critical reviews and appears on lists of the city’s best spas. Ananya is praised for the quality and variety of its massages facials and other skin care treatment offerings. Seattle A-List Best of 2017’s Day Spa winner, Ananya Spa is located just south of Olympic Sculpture Park."

"This is where we get into the spas that focus on massages and treatments more than communal stuff. Ananya Spa has a wide variety of massages available, ranging from hot stone to Swedish to Thai. There’s also body wraps, facials and waxing too."

"Not to mention they also offer couples packages if you want to have a relaxing day with your SO. And they also run some pretty great specials so be sure to check them out. Where: 2810 Elliott Ave"

"With the capacity to pamper just 14 patrons at a time, this all-female day spa near Seattle University is on the small side. But in addition to a massage room, HotHouse is home to a dry sauna, steam room, cold plunge shower and hot tub. The highly-rated spa is known for its friendly staff and affordable prices, with entry costing just 8."

"Another female only spot, Hothouse has some of the best rates in the city, with their spa use only costing $18. They’ve got all the amenities too- hot tub, steam room, sauna, and the good old cold plunge. Want to take things a step further?"

"UMMELINA takes downtown spa goers on an exotic, global adventure, with treatments that range from the Desert Water Foot Ritual to the Herbal Sea Salt Glow. The welcoming venue has created several natural environments that transport patrons "to distant lands, where for centuries indigenous people listened to the earth and gleaned its riches." In downtown Seattle, guests are accompanied by "guides who are accomplished, sure footed and well studied." These journeys utilize natural salts, muds, oils and herbs thoughtfully selected from all over the globe. Although the venue is ideal for individual patrons, it's also perfect for large groups (like bachelorette parties), thanks to its communal treatment room and its tea lounge."

"If the cure to your ails lies in an African foot soak, Thai yoga massage or meditative tea spa, check out Ummelina. The downtown Seattle spa’s treatment menu features healing practices from around the globe, packaged into regional and element-themed “journeys” for those committing a day to the spa. If you live in AMLI’s new Denny Triangle apartments, your international day spa journey is just a 10-minute walk away."

"Probably the most esoteric spot on this list, Ummelina has really doubled down on the whole ‘ancient rituals’ approach. We’re cool with it because the majority of the services offered are guaranteed to blow you away. We’re not so sure about spending $70 to be able to wash ourselves, though."

"Polished is a brand new day spa and retail boutique located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle. What sets us apart at Polished is excellent customer service and strict adherence to proper sterilization technique. Please visit our website for more info."

"A female only spa (sorry fellas), Ladywell’s focuses on hydrotherapy’s healing powers. They have 3 pools- a whirlpool, a soaking pool, and a plunge pool. They also have a dry cedar sauna, a steam bath and an infrared pink salt sauna with sand floors."

"If there's a single most iconic Seattle meal, it's probably fish and chips. We're rightly famous for our salmon, which is very tasty when given the batter-fried treatment, but halibut may be the most popular choice for locals (and well worth the..."

"The popular barbecue food truck begat an equally popular restaurant in the Central District, with a bar full of local beer, cocktails with house-smoked ingredients, and a covered patio. Both deliver an ever-so-slightly upgraded take on great barbecue. Unabashed barbecue geek Matt Davis, a former furniture maker with a degree in wood technology, does right by the classics (pulled pork, brisket, ribs) and fashions bowls of his smoked and spicy mac and cheese topped with your meat of choice."

"Now with a full-fledged restaurant in the Central District, Wood Shop BBQ hasn’t forgotten its humble origins as a food truck. The mobile version serves a slew of smoked meats, with the standout mac-and-cheese bowls — which layer jalapeno mac and cheese with meat and sauce — a top choice."

"When you’re in the mood for something a little more sophisticated than hot dogs, the Woodshop has you covered. Try the wood-smoked, Texas-style brisket with creamy mac and cheese on the side. Their spacious picnic-table patio has plenty of room for the whole family – even the family dog."
