Snow Tubing at The Summit at Snoqualmie Pass

Get Outdoors

Living in the Pacific Northwest has its perks. One of them is having a plethora of things to do in our backyards. And you don’t have to spend money to have a good time. From checking out a local trail in McCormick Woods to feeling like a kid again and heading down the slides at Point Ruston in Tacoma. All of which are free and great activities to do while staying and becoming sober.

Take a Cooking Class

When you sign up for a class, anticipate discovering a new skill, making new friends, and deepening relationships with a night filled with laughter and good food. A must-have on your winter bucket list.

Head to Leavenworth

Less than a two-hour drive from the city, Leavenworth has so much to offer. From hiking to sightseeing, Bavarian-inspired culture and food. This charming little town is a must-do year-round, but especially in winter. Book a cabin in the woods, sit by the fire and read a good book. Go for a sleigh ride in town, stop by a local Bavarian food favorite, and make sure to get some shopping done, too. Or check out the sites on a snowmobile or try Nordic skiing. Either way, your cup will be filled when visiting here.

Razor Clamming at the Ocean

Winter is prime time to dig razor clams. The Pacific Northwest has some of the best local and accessible seafood around. If you are a seafood lover, adventure seeker, then this is the activity for you.

Before you head out, make sure to get a clamming license from Washington’s Department of Fish and Wildlife. Important dates and sites for razor clamming this season are listed below.

Dates: December-February
