Five classic Seattle holiday activities.

December 02, 2008

Welcome to December! The holidays have officially begun! There is so very much to see and do this month in Seattle (with many more activities to be highlighted in the upcoming days), so I wanted to give you the top five classic Seattle holiday opportunities to get you in the holiday mood.

Still need your Christmas tree (I know we do!)? There's still time to enjoy the classic tree "hunting" experience in Gifford Pinchot National Forest. You'll just need $5, a heavy coat, gloves, hat, and a pair of moon boots.

The Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium returns with its annual Zoo Lights! What does a half a million lights look like? Get bundled up, wander through the zoo and find out.

There are many opportunities to view the gorgeous Christmas Ship Festival vessels. Each evening through December 23rd, the Argosy Christmas Ship sails through the waters near different Puget Sound communities; while choirs on board provide a program of holiday songs. You can view the festival in on of the waterfront communities oron board the boat itself.

Each evening at 7pm until December, visit Bellevue Square as Bellevue Way is transformed into Snowflake Lane. You have to see it to believe it.What's more fun than open air ice-skating? Well, nothing, really. You can find out for yourself at the outdoor ice arena at Seattle Center Winterfest.
