Winter in Seattle is no joke. Grab a cup of hot coffee from Starbucks to start your day. However, this isn’t your normal Starbucks.
Visit Starbucks Reserve Seattle for an upscale coffee house aesthetic. Located just blocks away from the original Starbucks on Pike Place, you can witness your favorite roast actually coming to life. Pro Tip: Pair a dark chocolate mocha with a slice of raisin sfilatino bread.

Located just 40-minutes away from the city, The Summit at Snoqualmie still remains one of the best ski resorts in Seattle. Skiing not your winter sport of choice? No worries, try out Snow Tubing, Snowshoeing or even a private snowboarding lesson.
