Reccomend a quality health/day spa?

After seven months of a really stressful job with no breaks including the holidays, I find myself in need of a day of solitude and pampering.

Here's my wish list:

- Within 30 minutes of Seattle or Eastside. If in Seattle, something with some cheap/free parking would be appreciated.

- I want to be a sloth for the day; zone out in a hot tub or sauna, catch up on some Steven King on a lounge chair, maybe nap/"meditate" to some of that calming nature music/wood flute.

- My dream includes complimentary tea, or water with fruit in it.

- I'm not sure of spa-bum etiquette, but I assume that I should get a massage or something to be a good spa patron. Though I wouldn't mind a 90 minute massage or a facial with mud from the Dead Sea, I really can't pay more than $50 and am willing to get a shorter, cheaper service, like having someone cut my cuticles or whatever.

Then again, if I am wrong and you know of a place where I can pay to be a sloth and not get a service, that would work too!

I don't know if this makes a difference, but I am a chick.

Namaste, biatches!

    It does make a difference that you're a lady, because where you must go is Olympus Spa in Lynnwood.

    Olympus is a Korean style bathhouse- this means ladies only and nudity required in the pools. You may be surprised to learn that being nude around middle-aged Korean and Russian ladies is not an intimidating experience.

    $35 gets you in the door and unlimited access to four pools of varying temperatures, a mugwort bath, humid and dry saunas and six relaxation rooms with different kinds of herbal infusions and some complicated Eastern heating system that apparently provides a slew of health benefits. There are places to lounge and read, places to chat with friends, a delicious restaurant and a tea room. You can stay there all day without purchasing any spa packages (many women do), but if you want to go all out get the Korean body scrub and moisturizing treatment. This is not your typical wimpy Western style exfoliation; you will actually see dead skin rolling off your body. Lots of it. Have you ever wondered why so many older Asian ladies still have flawless skin? This is why.

    So, in conclusion, the Olympus Spa is where you must go.

    Hot House on Capitol Hill (also all women) is tiny, but inexpensive, gorgeous, and really nice. I love love love it, and they have massage!
