| Weekend in Denver |
|
Any Seattle resident will tell you the months of June through September typically more than make up for the often dreary winters we get in the Pacific Northwest. For many, the winters are when they travel – and summer means staying close to home. But when a wedding invitation arrives from a very good friend, [...] |

| Making Fall Travel Plans for Seattle |
|
Summer may be in full swing, but that’s no reason to put off planning a fall trip. In fact, this is the ideal time to plan fall travels, since it’s far easier to find fall travel deals when you’re planning in advance rather than waiting until the last minute.
Even though Seattle isn’t necessarily one of [...] |

| Visit Australia in Their Winter (Our Summer) |
|
Although the sun poked its nose out of hiding in the Pacific Northwest today for the first time in what feels like years, we’re still missing out on that phenomenon most people call SUMMER at this time of year. Yes, it may officially be summer if you look at a calendar and pay attention to [...] |

| Where to Watch the World Cup in Seattle |
|
If you didn’t plan well in advance to see this year’s World Cup in person – and if you’re not willing to shell out the big bucks for a last minute trip to South Africa – then you’re watching the games on TV. There are lots of reasons why watching the games from your own [...] |

| Will you need a bumbershoot at Bumbershoot this year? |
|
Let’s face it – Seattle isn’t exactly known for its weather. Or rather, it’s known for having the kind of weather that wouldn’t exactly be conducive to outdoor music festivals (even if they’re technically in the summer). Summers in the Pacfic Northwest can be downright glorious, but they can also be unreliable weather-wise. The thing [...] |

| Get Outdoors this Summer in Seattle |
|
Seattle locals tend to get a little defense about the perception that it rains all the time in Seattle. They’ll argue that in winter, yes it does seem to always be raining, but hey, it’s a light rain and it still beats negative temperatures and foot-high snowdrifts. And they’ll point out that summer in Seattle [...] |

| Planning a Trip to the Sasquatch Festival |
|
After spending two years living in Seattle, I came up with a theory about how residents of the city seem to suffer from a sort of seasonal amnesia.
During the wet, gray days of winter, it’s easy to forget that the perception that it rains all the time in Seattle isn’t really true. And during the [...] |

| Visiting Tennessee for the Bonnaroo Festival |
|
Seattle is full of music fans – this probably goes without saying (but I said it anyway). But if Bumbershoot isn’t enough for you this summer music festival season, consider making a trip to the great state of Tennessee for Bonnaroo.
And don’t even think of making any wise-cracks about Bonnaroo being a festival with a [...] |

| Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in Seattle |
|
During the usually chilly and grey winter months it’s not surprising that people will take advantage of any excuse for a party… But when the party is as big as St. Patrick’s Day, then there’s even more reason to celebrate.
You’ve no doubt heard about how they dye the river green in Chicago, and you’d be [...] |
