Seattle is known as "the emerald city", so its only natural that one day a year we all get a little crazy about the emerald aisle and celebrate Irish America on Saint Patrick's day all over our awesome city. If you haven't made plans yet, check out these suggestions from our blog team!

What has always moved me about the various marches I’ve attended in Seattle, is the sense of community. While initially a march might seem representative of negative emotions – frustration, anger, disappointment, injustice – when you’re actually in the sea of others who are frustrated too, you are reminded that you are not alone.  That while even the people walking right next to you might have differing beliefs, ideas, politics, and backgrounds, most are inherently good.

If you’re willing to venture out of your house, you’ll find Seattle has some places that’ll make you feel just as cozy outside of your home as you would inside. And of course, these places are great for doing one of the best activities possible during winter: reading a good book. So, grab a book and try instead heading outside of your home to experience a cozier, comfier, Seattle in the winter. Leave the rain and snow outside, and warm up at these places!

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to better understand the real impact you have with your day to day choices? That's what Taming Bigfoot, an upcoming competition in Seattle is all about - giving participants a real idea of how their actions affect CO2 emissions, all while competing to win prizes.
