Known for the Space Needle, gorgeous hiking trails, and grunge music, the city offers plenty to do in January. Museums are your best bet (like the Seattle Pinball Museum), theater shows and the Woodland Park Zoo. If "adventure" is your middle name, head to Leavenworth for fun in the snow or take a ferry to the San Juan Islands (you might even see some orcas).
