Seattle Winter Staycation: How to Enjoy the Season Without Leaving Seattle Metro

Seattle Winter Staycation: How to Enjoy the Season Without Leaving Seattle Metro

If you’re feeling stressed or run down from planning get-togethers, or could use a break from work, skip the traffic and crowded airports—Seattle has everything you need for a fantastic staycation. Here, you’ll find a few of our favorite ideas for enjoying the Emerald City.

Book a Few Nights at a Hotel 

When you’re staying within the Seattle city limits, there’s no shortage of awesome hotels. If you want to stay in town but you’re tired of the same old surroundings, check out the five-star Four Seasons or downtown Grand Hyatt. Both of these options offer luxurious amenities, including on-site spas and breathtaking views. When you’re a guest at one of these classic Seattle gems, you’ll experience being on vacation without having to venture too far. Whether you want to try the unique drinks and menus or explore the downtown area, both of these locations are excellent choices.

Enjoy Light Displays 

During the holiday season, take the opportunity to experience the city’s numerous light displays. Many of Seattle’s neighborhoods go all out and deck the streets with light decorations, like the tradition of Candy Cane Lane in Ravenna. For a great light show that’s in a different setting, check out Wildlights at Woodland Park Zoo.

Re-Visit Popular Tourist Attractions 

As a Seattle local, you’re probably familiar with our city’s most beloved tourist attractions. However, that may also mean that it’s been years since you’ve visited these historic hot spots. For a fun staycation, make a point to stop by the classics, like the Space NeedlePike Place Market, or the Seattle Center. Some of these locations offer winter and holiday festivities, such as Magic in the Market in Pike Place.

Find Solace Outdoors

There are numerous options for getting outdoors in the Seattle area, so you can find the perfect venue to fit your mood and interests. During the winter season, make the short commute to the Summit at Snoqualmie for some skiing or snowboarding. If you’d love to go for a hike but want to avoid snowy paths, Puget Sound is usually a safe bet. This area tends to stay free of snow and ice throughout the winter, so it’s ideal for winter walks.

Living in Seattle makes it easy to have a memorable winter staycation without leaving the area. If you’re planning to buy or sell a home after the holidays, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re happy to help you  sell your property or find your dream home.
