For over a century, the Paradise Inn and Annex has served as a home base for visitors exploring Mount Rainier. In partnership with Rainier Guest Services & Korsmo Construction, a major remodel of the Annex was completed in 2019 to preserve this historic structure. To celebrate the rehabilitation of the Annex, a grand reopening ceremony was held on May 17, 2019. This video includes short excerpts of the speeches from guest speakers and features a performance of the Nisqually Anthem Song by the Nisqually Indian Tribe Canoe Family.
