Just wanted to pass a quick note, right now, if you find that Great Wolf Lodge no longer has any rooms available in our block rate, you are still welcome to stay there, but the rate will be higher. We have an additional hotel available to you: Holiday Inn Express in Chehalis. Please call 360-740-1800 and reference code “WFC” for a group rate.

Sorry for the inconvenience of this. Please let myself (andrea_ancich@lkstevens.wednet.edu)or Dawn Boyden (dawn_boyden@lkstevens.wednet.edu) know if you have any questions.”
