In state, there really isn't a great resort type operation going on at any mountain. Stevens/Baker/Crystal are probably the top 3 options for in state (snoqualmie/alpental suck), but none of them really have much of a resort/lodging or a village... I had a great time at Mission Ridge the one time I was there. Stay in Wenatchee and its only a short drive to the mountain, no crowds, new high speed quad, great eastern Cascade snow, lots of sun.

Out of state: Definitely take a look at Mt. Bachelor in Oregon. I thought the mountain was great and there's some great lodging opportunities in the nearby towns = Bend, Sun River, Three Sisters, Redmond are all good spots to stay. Mt Hood is overrated and way crowded.

If you go up North to Canada, Whistler is great in terms of its village and lodging opportunities, never been much of a fan of the skiing there, but then again 2 of the 3 times I've been there it was raining (in January, WTF??) so that skews my perception.

A bit further of a drive into Canada, take a peek at Sun River, Big White or Red Mountain. I've had a blast at all three and there are some good resort/lodging options.

Other options : Schweitzer, Sun Valley...

FleaFlicker, if you get back into skiing and aren't with the kids/family, spend time at Baker and Crystal. As others said, crowds on Saturdays/Sundays/holidays (where aren't they bad on weekends?) but both mountains are the top two in the state hands down. Midweek the places are empty, and have great terrain. Both have great backcountry and lots of places to explore. Crystal is my favorite mountain in the state, spend lots of days there every winter, the backcountry Southback hikes on a powder days are unbelievable, especially on a sunny day with Rainier in the background. Crowds aren't bad if you know the mountain.
