The Seattle Joy Guide: Everything Is Glitter and I Love
Seattle in December doesn’t just sparkle - it vibrates. The clouds are mood lighting. The air smells like cedar and coffee grounds, the sidewalks glisten like someone sprinkled them with optimism, and the Space Needle’s halo hums with that quiet holiday electricity you can feel even from blocks away. Somewhere between your third peppermint mocha and your fifth spontaneous compliment to a stranger’s dog, you realize it: the holidays have absolutely won. If the Seattle Grinch Guide was a coping mechanism, this is the opposite - a full-blown serotonin festival. Somewhere between the gray skies and the glittering ferries, Seattle becomes a city that absolutely hums with holiday warmtheven if you can still see your breath. You’re not surviving December; you’re ascending.
STEP 1: OH MYLANTA, HAVE
YOU SEEN THE LIGHTS?
They’re everywhere. Downtown glows like a jewel box. Fremont looks like an elf convention. Even the cranes have fairy lights - it’s industrial romance!
You don’t need a passport or plane ticket to feel transported Drift through the lights of downtown, hop on the Monorail, follow the scent of roasted nuts and sugar cookies toward the Seattle Christmas Market at the Armory.
It’s all there: handmade ornaments, Bavarian pretzels, the occasional Santa eating pierogi with spiritual conviction. Grab a mug of glühwein and let the band’s brass section convince you that you’ve made excellent life choices.
Bonus: You will 100% text someone “You have to see this” at least once.
Magnolia Winterfest
Magnolia Winterfest kicks off the holiday season on Saturday, December 6th with a full day of family-friendly fun!
Start your morning (8am) with Swedish pancakes at Magnolia Lutheran Church, then explore the Holiday Farmers Market (10-2) and Winterfest Marketplace.
Throughout the day, enjoy arts & crafts, Santa photos, caroling, and the beloved tree lighting in Magnolia Village. Evening brings a holiday car show on W. McGraw St, live music, after-hours shopping, and festive bites from local restaurants.
We’re also partnering with Fire Station 41—families are invited to bring a toy for their annual holiday toy drive. While dropping off your donated toy or toys, enjoy the creation of an ice sculpture at the fire station!
Magnolia Winterfest on December 6th is a joyful way to celebrate the season and support our small businesses who make it all possible—most activities are free and open to all!
STEP 2: COFFEE, COCOA, AND POSSIBLY TRANSCENDENCE
This city runs on caffeine, and December is its Super Bowl. Get a gingerbread latte from Café Hagen, and suddenly your aura is cinnamon. Try Elm Coffee Roasters, and you’ll start believing espresso has emotional depth.
You could drink water, sure, but it doesn’t come with nutmeg.
Pro tip: Any café with fogged windows and Bing Crosby in the background is basically therapy.
STEP 3: LAYER UP, LOVE HARD
Bundle up like an overzealous snowman and walk through the Seattle Center Winterfest ice rink. You’ll fall. Everyone does. But you’ll laugh so hard it’ll echo off the Monorail tracks like holiday reverb.
Then wander over to the Seattle Christmas Market, grab a pretzel bigger than your face,
SEATTLE JOY GUIDE, 3
Each December, Magnolia Winterfest lights up our neighborhood with joy, creativity, and connection. From holiday arts and crafts to caroling, Santa photos, and the beloved tree lighting, it’s a festive kickoff to the season—and a reminder of what makes our community so special.
This family-friendly celebration is made possible by the incredible generosity of our local small businesses. They pour time, talent, and heart into Winterfest so that families, friends, and neighbors can enjoy the magic—most of it at no cost to participants.
As we step into the holidays, we invite you to shop locally, dine locally, and celebrate locally. Supporting our small businesses during Winterfest—and all year long—is one of the most meaningful ways we can keep Magnolia vibrant, welcoming, and full of possibility.
Thank you for being part of this wonderful community. We can’t wait to celebrate with you.
Warmly, Magnolia Chamber of Commerce

Savvy Senior: How to Locate an Age-Friendly Doctor
By Jim Miller
Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I are relocating to a nearby state to be closer to our daughter and will need to find a new primary care physician when we arrive. We are both in our late 70s and are interested in getting a geriatrician to oversee our health care going forward. Any suggestions for finding someone?
—Searching for Care
Dear Searching,
Choosing a geriatrician as your primary care doctor in your 70s is a good idea, especially if you’re dealing with various age-related health problems. But if you’re in relatively good health you may not need a geriatrician. A good primary care doctor with an age-friendly philosophy may be all you need. Here’s what you should know.
WHO NEEDS A GERIATRICIAN?
Geriatricians are primary care doctors that have additional specialized training in treating older patients. Those who can benefit the most from seeing a geriatrician are seniors age 75 and older with multiple health and age-related problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, incontinence, osteoporosis, cognitive decline, frailty, depression, or trouble with balance and falls.
Geriatricians are also particularly adept at tackling medication problems. Because many seniors take multiple medications at the same time for various health conditions, and because aging bodies often absorb and metabolize drugs differently than younger adults, unique side effects and drug interactions are not uncommon. A geriatrician will evaluate and monitor your medications to be sure they are not affecting you in a harmful way.
Geriatricians can also help their patients and families determine their long-term care needs, like how long they can remain in their own homes safely without assistance, and what type of services may be necessary when they do need some extra help.
Unfortunately, there’s a shortage of geriatricians in the U.S., so depending on where you are moving, finding one may be difficult.
To help you locate one in your new area, use Medicare’s online find and compare search tool. Just go to Medicare.gov/ care-compare and click on “Doctors & Clinicians” and type in your location, then type in “geriatric medicine” in the Name & Keyword box. You can also get this information by calling Medicare at 800-6334227. The American Geriatrics Society also has a geriatricianfinder tool on their website at HealthinAging.org.
If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, contact your plan for a list of network geriatricians in your new area.
Keep in mind, though, that locating a geriatrician doesn’t guarantee you will be accepted as a patient. Many doctors already have a full patient roster and don’t accept any new patients. You’ll need to call the individual doctor’s office to find out.
AGE-FRIENDLY PCPS
If you and your husband are in relatively good health or if
you can’t find a geriatrician in your new area, a good primary care physician (PCP) that practices age-friendly care would also be a viable choice. To search for new PCPs, use the previously listed Medicare tools. Once you locate a few, call their office and ask if they’re accepting new patients and if they practice the 4Ms of age friendly care, which include: What Matters (your goals and priorities); Medication safety and appropriateness; Mentation (cognition and mood); and Mobility (ways to keep you moving).
You can also research new doctors at sites like Healthgrades.com and Vitals.com.
If you’re finding it hard to get into a new practice, you might even consider looking for a geriatric nurse practitioner or advanced practice registered nurse to serve as your PCP.

Magnolia Historical Society 25th Anniversary Celebration
By Norma W. Goldstein, Ph.D. MHS Board member
The Magnolia Historical Society (MHS), formed in 2001, is fundraising and planning a variety of community activities to commemorate its 25th anniversary in 2026. Their community events include a writer’s workshop in March, Magnolia historical presentation by Seattle Now & Then in April, an education project with Magnolia’s schools, and its special 25th anniversary celebration in conjunction with the launch of its 2026 web book readings in May. Newsletters and posters will be distributed for more information or visit their website at www.magnoliahistoricalsociety.org.
COMMUNITY PROJECTS
Grants and donations have enabled the MHS board and local volunteers to produce three award winning/ nominated print books, Magnolia: Memories & Milestones, Magnolia:
SEATTLE JOY GUIDE
From page 1
and marvel at the fact that everyone seems - get this - happy.
Making More Memories and Magnolia: Midcentury Memories, two of which can be purchased on their website or at Magnolia’s Bookstore in the village. Over 125 Magnolian volunteers have produced these works.
ALL THREE BOOKS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE ON AMAZON KINDLE.
Currently on the MHS website, volunteer Magnolians and paid staff members have helped to create a new free online
That’s right. You’re in public, in December, in Seattle, and people are smiling. Take a deep breath. That’s joy in the air, not mist. (Okay, maybe a little mist.)
STEP 4: COZY CULTURE
(NO BLANKET FORT REQUIRED)
Not every festive moment involves glitter. Sometimes it’s about stepping into warmth. Check out a candle-making workshop at Elm Candle Bar in Capitol Hill or a wreath class at The Works in Columbia City.
If theater’s your thing, Taproot Theatre’s annual Christmas production
ongoing book series with annual publications of first-person narratives and academically researched stories edited by volunteer peer editors. Opportunities to sign up as a writer or peer editor can be found on their website.
Since their inception, the society has held educational programs for the public, worked with local schools, provided free memoir workshops at the Magnolia Library, and donated books to local businesses and schools.
MHS has worked on issues such as the historic Fort Lawton District, the Korean War medaling at the Army Reserve Center, the 50th Anniversary of Discovery Park, and the historic development of local businesses in Magnolia Village.
MHS commissioned John Leglar, a local artist, to create a limestone bas relief sculptured map highlighting Magnolia’s Duwamish indigenous history which is located in the village to celebrate their 10th Anniversary.
delivers nostalgia without the sugar crash. Or go small: an evening poetry open mic at Couth Buzzard Books, where the lights twinkle, the cocoa flows, and the applause sounds like home.
STEP 5: TASTE EVERYTHING, JUDGE NOTHING
The holidays are not the time for restraint.
• Enjoy a slice of Princess Cake from Byen Bakeri.
• Hop over to The Masonry for a slice and a sip from one of their fourteen taps.
• Follow that with a late-night stack at Mecca Café, the kind of pancakes that
practically beg you not to count calories afterward.
Because calories are fictional in December. So are consequences. You’re basically Santa now.
STEP 6: SHOPPING? MORE LIKE EMOTIONAL FORAGING
Skip the malls. Go to the Georgetown Trailer Park Mall where everything feels handcrafted by someone slightly tipsy on cheer. Pick up a ceramic mushroom, a vintage brooch, and a sticker that says “Merry-ish.” Boom. You’re done. Gift wrap optional. Love is implied.
STEP 7: REDEFINE “PEACE ON EARTH” It’s not about big parties or perfect gifts. It’s that weird moment when the rain slows, the city hums, and the Space Needle fog lights slice through the gray like hope itself.
It’s your neighbor’s dog in a Santa hat. It’s that stranger who held the door at QFC and said, “Stay warm.” It’s the realization that you live in a place where the clouds sparkle sometimes. So yeah, Seattle - you win. You’re damp and unpredictable and deliriously beautiful.
And if loving you this much is wrong… I don’t want to be seasonally adjusted.
Cold Weather Readiness for Older Adults and Their Communities
Winter in Seattle brings colder nights, slick sidewalks and sudden storms that can create real challenges for older adults. Preparation for seniors is not just helpful; it’s essential. A little planning now can prevent injuries, reduce stress and make winter safer for everyone. Below is a clear, actionable list of steps that seniors, caregivers and neighbors can take to prepare for winter weather in our community.
PREPARE FOR COLD NIGHTS
Indoor temperatures can drop quickly during storms. Older adults lose body heat faster, which increases the risk of hypothermia. Check that indoor heat is working properly. Test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Inspect space heaters and heated blankets for safe wiring. Make sure heaters have automatic shutoff features and place them on level surfaces away from bedding or curtains. Store extra layers, warm blankets, flashlights and batteries in easy-to-access locations. Never use ovens or stovetops for heat, since this can create a fire hazard or carbon monoxide risk.
MAKE WALKWAYS AND ENTRYWAYS SAFE
Queen Anne and Magnolia both have narrow sidewalks that often remain icy in shaded areas long after sunrise. Ask building managers, neighbors or family members to clear leaves and moss well before the first freeze and to apply pet safe ice melt in known problem spots. Secure outdoor rugs and replace worn doormats. Check that indoor thresholds are secure and not slippery, especially where wet shoes may create slick spots. Add handrails wherever possible. Good winter footwear matters. Shoes with reliable traction and cane tips designed for ice can greatly reduce fall risks.
PLAN FOR POWER OUTAGES
Know where your flashlights are kept. Charge phones and medical devices before storms arrive. Keep a thermos for warm drinks if the heat goes out. Close curtains once it gets dark to help retain indoor warmth.
ORGANIZE MEDICATIONS AND HEALTH
NEEDS EARLY
Pharmacies may change hours during storms, and steep hills can make travel difficult or unsafe. Refill prescriptions early and keep an updated medication list in an easy to see place. Caregivers can help arrange transportation for medical visits or check in on chronic health needs. Seniors should keep contact information for doctors and clinics where it can be found quickly.
Whenever possible, talk with your pharmacy about converting routine prescriptions to a 90-day supply, which is often allowed for maintenance medications. Mail-order refills can also be a convenient and reliable option, especially for those with mobility challenges. If neither option is available, ask whether your Medicare plan or pharmacy can authorize an early refill override before a forecasted storm. Some plans allow “emergency refills” for weather-related events, but each plan is different, so it helps to ask well ahead of winter weather. Because each Medicare plan sets its own rules, early refills are not guaranteed, so it is helpful to ask your pharmacist about these options before winter weather begins.
BUILD AN EMERGENCY KIT
A basic kit should include water, shelf-stable food, essential medications, a flashlight, a
Know where your flashlights and extra batteries are stored, and keep them together in one place. If the heat goes out, use a thermos for warm drinks, dress in layers, and place towels at the base of drafty doors. Battery powered motion lights or night-lights can help prevent falls during outages, especially near stairs and hallways. Close curtains after dark to help retain warmth, and unplug sensitive electronics to protect them from power surges when electricity returns.
PLAN TRANSPORTATION BEFORE STORMS ARRIVE
When freezing rain hits, the steep grades in Queen Anne and Magnolia become especially dangerous for both drivers and pedestrians. Ice can form quickly on untreated sidewalks, roads and driveways, and even short walks can lead to serious slip injuries. Arrange es-
radio, a portable charger, and a warm blanket. Add extra batteries, a manual can opener, and copies of important documents. If you rely on medical equipment that needs electricity, create a backup plan such as spare batteries, a charged power bank or knowing the nearest facility with reliable power. King County posts warming locations during severe weather, and the City of Seattle updates shelter information online.
PLAN FOR POWER OUTAGES
Before storms hit, fully charge phones, mobility devices, and medical equipment.
sential errands before a storm is expected and consider having groceries delivered when conditions are icy. If you use a mobility aid, make sure tips and wheels are in good condition and choose routes that have been treated or cleared by neighbors, building managers, or city crews. Schedule transportation for medical appointments and grocery trips before storms move in, since ride services may be limited once roads ice over. Identify a neighbor or family member who can serve as your winter weather contact. This person can help with errands, walk with you on slippery routes,
or check in if you decide to stay home until conditions improve.
STAY CONNECTED WITH YOUR COMMUNITY
Community support is one of the strongest winter safety tools. Neighbors can check on older adults before and after storms. A simple visit or phone call can confirm that someone has heat, lights, food and any needed medications. Offering to help with shoveling, salting or carrying groceries can prevent a fall or injury.
WHERE TO GET HELP WITH WINTER PREP
Not everyone can clear ice, lift heavy items or arrange transportation during winter weather. Queen Anne and Magnolia residents have several reliable local resources.
KING COUNTY 211
Offers 24-hour referrals for senior services, transportation assistance, food access and emergency needs. Call 211 from any phone.
SEATTLE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Provides referrals and information for older adults. Call 206 386 1001 for support.
MAGNOLIA COMMUNITY CENTER
Offers programming and community connections that can help residents find local assistance. Call 206 386 4235.
QUEEN ANNE COMMUNITY CENTER
Connects residents with senior services and winter safety support. Call 206 386 4240.
SENIOR CENTERS OF SEATTLE AND KING COUNTY
The Ballard Senior Center is the closest hub and can assist with transportation coordination and service referrals. Call 206 297 0403.
SEATTLE PUBLIC UTILITIES
For emergency issues with flooding, blocked drains or icy public walkways, call the SPU emergency line at 206 386 1800.
LOCAL FAITH AND COMMUNITY GROUPS
Many offer informal assistance with errands, wellness check-ins or light outdoor tasks during storms.
NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS
Often the fastest and most effective support. Exchanging phone numbers, offering rides, checking stairs for ice or delivering groceries can make winter safer for everyone. With early planning and strong neighborhood connections, older adults can stay safe, warm and confident throughout the winter months. Let us look out for one another and make this season a comfortable one for our entire community.
Tinsel, Ribbons and Lights: Seasonal Risks for Curious Pets
The winter season brings bright decorations, wrapped gifts and sparkling displays throughout the home. While these traditions create a warm and festive atmosphere for people, they can also introduce unexpected hazards for pets. According to the Humane Society of the United States, many common seasonal items that seem harmless to humans can become dangerous for animals who explore with their mouths and paws.
Tinsel is one of the most frequently cited risks. Cats are especially drawn to the movement and shine of tinsel strands. The Humane Society warns that any long, thin material can cause life threatening intestinal blockages if swallowed. Even a small piece can twist inside the digestive tract and require emergency surgery. Pet experts recommend swapping tinsel for safer options like wide paper garlands or cloth ribbons.
Gift wrapping supplies can be just as tempting. The American Veterinary Medical Association notes that curling ribbons, twine and yarn can lead to choking or internal obstruction if ingested. It helps to keep all wrapping items in a closed container and to clean up scraps immediately after presents are opened.
Seasonal plants are another area of concern.
The ASPCA maintains an extensive list of toxic plants, and several familiar winter decorations appear there. Poinsettias, while not usually deadly,
can still cause stomach upset and mouth irritation if pets chew the leaves. Holly and mistletoe can cause more serious reactions, especially in dogs and cats. Lilies are extremely dangerous to cats even in tiny amounts. Pet owners who want greenery in the home can choose safe alternatives such as ferns, spider plants or artificial arrangements. Lights and cords can also be hazardous.
Puppies, kittens and newly adopted pets may chew on cords, which can result in electrical burns. The AVMA suggests taping cords along walls, using protective covers or choosing battery powered decorations to reduce risk.
The increased activity of the winter season can also stress animals who prefer routine. The Humane Society recommends providing a quiet room or a familiar retreat during gatherings and offering plenty of exercise and enrichment to help pets stay calm.
SAFE DECORATING IDEAS
Pet friendly households can still enjoy a bright and cheerful home. Safer decoration options include paper snowflakes, felt ornaments, artificial wreaths, battery operated candles and sturdy fabric garlands. These choices bring warmth and color to a space without introducing the hazards associated with tinsel, toxic plants or exposed cords.
With thoughtful planning, homes can remain festive while keeping pets healthy and secure throughout the season.
Staff Report
The
Seattle drivers spent an average of eighty seven hours stuck in traffic last year. That’s enough time to watch the entire extended Lord of the Rings trilogy, finish the crochet project you abandoned in April, and still have hours left to question your life choices. It adds up to more than two full work weeks spent inside a steel box staring at brake lights.
These numbers came from a new transportation study, although most Seattleites didn’t need a study to confirm they’re spending more time in their cars and less in their homes. Anyone who’s tried to get from Queen Anne to South Lake Union at 4 p.m. already knows a three-mile trip can turn into a spiritual test. Some drivers swear they’ve passed the same dog walker multiple times while inching along the same block. That’s how slowly the city can move. Years of overlapping construction haven’t helped. The Waterfront rebuild narrows lanes, Mercer stays knotted, and Third Avenue keeps reinventing itself. Then there’s the Ballard Bridge, always ready to lift at exactly the wrong moment. When these things happen together, as they often do, the whole system feels like it’s exhaling through a straw.
Congestion isn’t just about freeways. It plays out block by block. Some neighborhoods cope with tourists, others with geography, and others with signals that seem to have a personal vendetta. Everyone has a version of the same story, a short errand that suddenly feels like a quest.
Officially, the study says the average driver lost eighty seven hours to congestion. Unofficially, many residents insist that number feels conservative. Factor in the West Seattle Bridge merge or the slow funnel south of Northgate, or even the search for parking on Capitol Hill, and that eighty seven hours starts to feel optimistic.
Seattle Spent in Traffic
Transportation experts weigh in often, but most Seattleites trust their daily experience. They know one wrong move at the Mercer on-ramp costs twenty minutes. They know ignoring the Ballard Bridge schedule means paying for it. They know I-5 functions less like a freeway and more like a gentle suggestion.
Hybrid work schedules have scrambled the old rush-hour rhythm. Mondays can feel sleepy, Tuesdays reasonable, and then Wednesday hits like an alarm clock everyone forgot to set.
Transit’s rebounding, although unevenly. Some riders returned to buses, some shifted to light rail, and some decided the pandemic’s quiet roads were too convenient to give up. There’s no single pattern, only a sense that everyone’s still finding their new normal.
Delivery drivers feel it too. One Queen Anne business owner joked that packages now arrive on a schedule best described as “aspirational,” a polite way of saying the road dictates the timeline, not the shipper. As punishing as the congestion is, it does signal that the local economy’s still moving. More people on the road means people are working, shopping, heading to appointments, and living life in a region that continues to expand. Even so, optimism doesn’t move cars any faster. One fender-bender on I-5 can send ripple effects through several neighborhoods until dinner.
Drivers have their coping tactics. Some keep snacks in the glove box, others keep chargers handy, and most keep their expectations low.
City officials are trying to respond. Traffic signal timing has been adjusted in hopes of smoothing the flow. Some days it works, and some days it feels like a theory that belonged on paper. Dedicated bus lanes continue to expand. Light rail keeps stretching outward. The Federal Way Link will soon reach more South County commuters, and
the Lynnwood extension is already drawing riders from Snohomish County. The hope is simple: as people see more trains running, they’ll choose tracks instead of tires. Whether it’ll be enough is another question. The region keeps growing. Construction cranes rarely rest. Even the best transit systems can’t fully compete with the comfort of a warm car on a rainy morning.
Seattle drivers don’t need charts or graphs to understand congestion. They feel it in the adjustments they’ve learned to make, leaving earlier, rerouting on the fly, or simply accepting that a quick drive rarely is. It’s become the rhythm of the city, a slow pulse everyone’s learned to navigate. There is, however, reason to believe tomorrow can be better. Even small shifts can help. Every rider who chooses a train instead of merging onto I-5, every bus that
gets its own lane, every workplace that staggers schedules, and every neighborhood that becomes easier to walk or bike all take a little pressure off the system. None of these steps fixes everything, but together they chip away at the gridlock that feels so permanent.
Seattle didn’t spend the last year in traffic by choice. The region’s growing, the streets are stressed, and the city’s evolving faster than the pavement beneath it. Progress is happening, even if it’s incremental, and those small changes offer something Seattle drivers haven’t had in a while: the possibility that the slow crawl might eventually ease.
Until then, people will do what they always do. They’ll keep a thermos of coffee close, a playlist on repeat, one eye on the bridge schedules, and inch forward toward whatever the city becomes next.
