Vacation! All you ever wanted! Just maybe not in the middle of a cold snap
and a pandemic. Looking for entertainment over the Seattle Public Schools midwinter break (February 15-19) or just Presidents Day Weekend? We ve got you covered.
1. Go snowshoeing.
Our guide to all things snowshoe covers local gear makers and history, how to avoid avalanche danger, and the 10 best snowshoe hikes in the area. If you haven t tried the sport, strap on some goofy footwear and stomp around the mountains to stay warm.
2. Explore Seattle s playgrounds.
Seattle Met editor in chief Allecia Vermillion deployed her own two highly certified (if underpaid) playground testers to the city s many structures and slides to create a list of Seattle s Destination Playgrounds. This newly updated investigation isn t afraid to speak the truth, like that the Carkeek salmon slide is more flash than fun.
