It’s easy to see that when he was young, Dale Rush was a comer. Now, with more silver in his hair, as Hotel Murano’s Bell Captain, he is the consummate welcomer.

Dale sees himself as the gatekeeper to a city institution. He told me, “When people check out of our hotel, I want them to be in love with Tacoma.” Sure, he’s won more service awards than just about anyone around here, but he is just as generous with his wisdom as he is with his smile. As the venerable Sheraton transitions to the bright new Hotel Murano, Dale is just one of the features here that legitimizes the whole enterprise. He’s old school all the way.
