During the week, I work for a major tech company in the Seattle area. By the time the weekend gets here, I'm ready to grab my significant other and get away from it all for a couple of days. I need to find a place where I can relax, have some fun, and feel like I'm ready to face the work week again when Monday rolls around.

Congratulations! The solution you submitted is the winner! After doing some research, I discovered an awesome bed and breakfast (http://www.colettes.com) in the Sequim area that pushed your solution over the edge. Thanks for playing!

I highly recommend Sequim, WA. It's a really beautiful place where you can hang out by the water, see the lavender fields (in the summer), visit the wild game park, and check out Bandy's Tollhaven (http://www.trollhaven.org.

There are several ways to forget a high-tech job. One is to go to a lake-front secluded vacation house for the weekend to listen to the sound of night and watch stars. The other is to do the opposite. A short Las Vegas weekend trip from Seattle is quite inexpensive. It is guaranteed to have lots of fun and you will completely forget your job. if you do the gambling, you would be highly motivated and appreciative of your work on Monday and never fret about "Best Weekend Getaway" for a while.

I can't believe Andrew mentioned the one get away spot I have actually been to in Washington. I was going to suggest Kalaloch as well. I don't know about the free dessert but you can get rooms facing the ocean and that is really cool.

I really liked the Kalaloch Lodge on the Olympic Pennisula (http://www.visitkalaloch.com. They have nice cabins with views of the ocean, a nearby beach, and lots of other random stuff to see in the area (I mostly checked out the big trees).

The restaurant is pretty decent (and they give you free dessert if you're horribly sunburned), and the cabins come with a stove - you can get ingredients at on-property store, or bring your own.

It's not too far away, so it's perfect for a weekend trip.
