NIGHT SKI AT SNOQUALMIE PASS – Located at an hours drive from Downtown, the summit at Snoqualmie is Seattle’s most convenient way to get a quick fix of powder. You can enjoy the falls from different viewing platforms or you can also hike to a lower viewpoint. And if you want to really maximize your time on the slopes, plan to visit at night. The Summit stays open until 10 pm, so it's also a great way to get in a mid-week adventure after work. If hiking isn’t your thing, there is a two-acre park to enjoy at Snoqualmie Falls. Snoqualmie Falls is also a nesting ground for peregrine falcons, so keep your eyes peeled for them.

GO FOR A RUN IN YOUR HOLIDAY ATTIRE – While in Seattle during the Christmas festive season, step into your comfortable shoes and set out to be part of the jingle bells run / walk or street scramble at the market. The Jingle Bell Run is one of the most spirited fun runs in the nation! Get in the spirit on race day by wearing holiday themed costumes and tying jingle bells to your running shoes. This is the nation's largest holiday 5K fun run series aimed to fight arthritis! On the other hand, street scramble at the market will take you on a tour of festive decorations and historic landmarks all around the market and downtown Seattle.

SOAK UP THE LIGHTS AT LEAVENWORTH – To live up to the true spirit of Christmas in Seattle, Leavenworth is the place to be. Snow-filled landscapes and mountain goodness with holiday decorations and seasonal drinks! Lights! Lights! And more lights is what makes Leavenworth the destination to be.

Whilst here, you can purchase a few "special finds" for home including luxurious body oils and scrubs, delicate hand-made jewellery and stylish home décor. You will also be able to enjoy fireworks from the village decked out in lights.

TAKE THE POLAR BEAR PLUNGE – It’s time to take the plunge into the frigid winter waters of Lake Washington during the Polar Bear plunge scheduled to be held on January 01.
