SEATTLE

Ah, the middle of winter in Seattle. You surely will have your umbrella—or raincoat if you want to blend in with Seattleites—with you as you navigate the city, but that won’t stop you from enjoying all the wonders and fabulous things we have to offer. We have a guide for you to follow to lead you out of the rain and into a wealth of fun activities indoors (p. 16), or you can head to one of our specialty-treat shops and reward yourself for braving the cold (p. 12). In Fremont, new tech companies seem to pop up daily as do hip coffee shops and restaurants, begging to be explored (p. 14). If you’re a sports lover or just happen to be in town during the Super Bowl, we’ve got you covered with a few of our favorite options for watching the big game (p. 48). Stay dry!

Rainy-Day Fun When skies are gray, duck into these indoor local attractions, museums and stores.

By Haley Shapley

WITH ABOUT 150 DAYS OF RAIN A YEAR, chances are pretty good that you’ll experience some precipitation while in town. Fortunately, that doesn’t have to limit what you see and do—Seattle has plenty of ways to make the most of the weather.

PREVIOUS PAGE: ©DANIEL SHEEHAN. THIS PAGE, FROM TOP: COURTESY SEATTLE AQUARIUM; ©DRYLAND MEDIA

A LEARNING EXPERIENCE For a classic rainy-day activity, visit one of the many museums in the city. The only tough part is choosing where to go.

History buffs will love the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) in South Lake Union or the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park in Pioneer Square, while geeks go ga-ga for Seattle Center’s MoPop and SoDo’s Living Computers: Museum + Labs. Visual inspiration abounds at downtown’s Seattle Art Museum and First Hill’s Frye Art Museum.

GET COZY If dreary weather makes you want to curl up and hibernate, embrace it. Start with a cozy wool blanket from Northwest company Pendleton’s downtown shop, then choose a book to read at locally loved Elliott Bay Book Company. Top it off with a warm cup of coffee at the Starbucks Reserve Roastery—they have options you won’t find at the regular cafes—and you’re ready to curl up in comfort.

CHILD’S PLAY To entertain little ones, the Seattle Aquarium is swimming with octopi, harbor seals and tide pool creatures you can touch.

Or kids can while away the hours testing their reaction time and learning about hydraulics at the Pacific Science Center.

University Village has a nice covered playground (treat the family to a scoop of cookie dough at nearby FrogLegs Culinary Academy)—and though this is an outdoor shopping mall, complimentary umbrellas are provided while walking around.

KEEP IT MOVING Prepare for outdoor adventures while comfortably inside at Momentum Indoor Climbing, a bouldering gym that opened last year with features like a spray wall, hangboards and free weights. Less physically demanding but equally fun, Flatstick Pub has indoor mini golf you can play with a beer in hand. Yogis will feel immediately welcome at the atmospheric, candlelit Flight Room, which offers yoga classes that incorporate aerial silks.

G I V I N G YO U S H E LT E R

(Previous page) The main atrium of the Museum of History and Industry.

(This page, from top) An otter greets visitors of the Seattle Aquarium; a maze of indoor golf courses at Flatstick Pub.

Of course, you can always do as the Seattleites do and zip your jacket, put your hood up and go about your day. If you need some new waterproof gear, Helly Hansen, Columbia Sportswear and the flagship REI are just a few places that can outfit you in Pacific Northwest style.
