I know people who use and work for rover.com and are very happy with the service.

We used Rover.com after extensive research revealed that was the only way to hit the price point you specified. I setup a webcam so I could keep an eye out. Everything was fine, though. A college student lived in my house for two weeks and kept an eye on my dog. Easy. Plus my dog tends to get kennel cough or some other such ailment from a long stay at a kennel. This way he was happy and healthy the whole time.

Check out Cascade Kennels in Woodinville. I've even using them for years. They are in your price range and have several add-ons available like potty walks, hikes, playtime, etc available if the is your thing.

The cainine behavior center in Redmond specializes in large northern dogs. I took my Siberian husky there when she was a puppy and it was great

does your vet do boarding? We always board our dogs with our local vet. its inside, they get play time and in the unfortunate event anything bad happens they are already at their vet who knows the medical history.

K9 club house is great we take our dog there when ever we go out of town. And just to run around with other dogs every week

Counterpoint: not rover. Well, choose your rover sitters with care. Lots of the hosts there are people with dogs who say, "sure, I'll take another for the weekend" and have no idea how to deal with multiple dogs, especially larger dogs like malamutes, or reactive dogs. If you go with a rover sitter, have the host walk your dog in few stressful situations before committing, to see if they can handle any unexpected reaction, and choose your sitter wisely.
I'm not saying your malamute is reactive, but her her quirks are second nature to you and a dog of that size isn't your everyday shihtzu.
I left my rescue mutt (that'd we'd trained with pros since we got him) with a group of mid twenties folks in Wallingford who had a few dogs and had signed up for rover. They had nothing but great reviews. In the meet-n-greet session all the dogs in the house (some native, some temporary through rover) got along great. We boarded him there for four days or so, and it did not go so well. No one was hurt, no dogs were bloodied, but the sitters were overwhelmed with my butthead dog's reactivity.
This is all my fault for not knowing enough about a) my dog and b) the sitter's ability.
The next time I boarded him was with a fella who specializes in dogs with reactivity or aggression issues and it was a wonderful experience. This guy had my mutt playing and romping with pits twice his size and wrestling around with four or five other dogs at a time.
This is more than I'd intended to write, so tl'dr, choose your rover sitter with care. PM me if you need the awesome guy who's great with the crazy dogs.
Can anyone recommend a good dog boarding facility somewhat nearby? We have a dog and will be dog sitting two others and need a place for them to go for a couple days due...

I always take mine to Downtown Dog Lounge in Capitol Hill. Friendly staff, good pricing, they let your dog roam free in the play area during the day (unless you say not to) and my dog always looks happy when I pick him up
