What to Do In Seattle if You Only Have One SNOW Day
We don't often get snow in Seattle, but when we do, it's just one more excuse to have fun. In this city of seven hills, even a mild dusting can be enough of a reason to cancel school, beg off work, and head outdoors to play. Be sure to catch a few snowflakes on your tongue, make your own snow angel, and finish off with a spirited snowball fight.
After playing in all that snow, you'll want to warm up with something hot to drink. Stop by Starbucks to order a cup of hot chocolate or your favorite latte. Pull up a chair and chat with friends to discuss the day's news or settle in with your laptop to start writing that great American novel.

Is it any wonder that my personal bias leans toward the Miss Nancy, a heady combination of gin, rhubarb tarragon syrup, lemon, blood orange bitters and bubbly - a winter warmer-upper, if ever there was one.

Time for your daily culture fix! Although this boutique gallery has been a fixture of the Seattle art scene for over forty years, you won't find it anywhere near downtown Seattle. Instead, first-time visitors are often surprised to discover it tucked away in the heart of the Phinney Ridge neighborhood. The gallery represents both renown and emerging Northwest artists, including Michael Spafford, Anna McKee, Marc Wenet and Joanne Pavlak while also handling artwork from the estates of artists like Jacob Lawrence and Mark Tobey. Postcards, books and posters are available for purchase in the upstairs gallery.
