Last year the exhibit was known as \u201cWinter Brilliance\u201d, which was originally designed for the holiday season at Barneys in NYC. You can expect to see hundreds of incredible hand-blown glass forms that will leave you in awe! I'm excited to see what Chihuly Garden and Glass offers for their holiday display in 2023.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><em><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> The Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass are located next to each other at Seattle Center.

One of the fun ways to head north is via the <a href=\"https:\/\/stuffedsuitcase.com\/the-ultimate-easy-getaway-ferry-from-seattle-to-victoria\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5311\">Victoria Clipper<\/a> boat. You'll board at the Seattle waterfront and enjoy an easy trip into Victoria Harbor that takes just about 3 hours.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Once in Victoria, you can enjoy all of the gorgeous decorations around town, including the lights and Christmas tree at the classic Fairmont Empress. But my favorite way to enjoy Victoria during the holidays is at Butchart Gardens where they have a 12 Days of Christmas light display.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leavenworth, WA<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Leavenworth is regularly listed as one of the top <a href=\"https:\/\/stuffedsuitcase.com\/best-christmas-in-us-towns-west-coast\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"10137\">Christmas towns in the US<\/a>. The little town is located at the base of the Cascade mountains and is completely Bavarian-themed. During the holidays they have an amazing light display and holiday entertainment, all season long. And year-round they have a Nutcracker museum, which is especially fun to visit during Christmas.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Do remember that it is located in the mountains and you must drive across a mountain pass from Seattle. So if you're planning to visit, be prepared with <a href=\"https:\/\/stuffedsuitcase.com\/winter-road-trip-packing-list\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9023\">winter driving essentials<\/a> and check road conditions. There is an Amtrak station near Leavenworth if you want to take the train from Seattle, and there are a few various shuttle and bus services.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Seattle is an incredible city and visiting during the holidays is a can\u2019t-miss experience. I hope that this guide has given you plenty of ideas and activities to make sure that you have a great holiday season in Seattle.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Have you spent the holidays in Seattle?

The little town is located at the base of the Cascade mountains and is completely Bavarian-themed. During the holidays they have an amazing light display and holiday entertainment, all season long.

Not only is it home to six professional sports teams, but it\u2019s also brought home 21 national &amp; international professional team championships, including, four WNBA championships, three&nbsp;NWSL Shields, two MLS Cups, and a Super Bowl.

District \/ Chinatown Station for the Seattle Link Light Rail train and easily accessible by Sound Transit buses. Driving to games can be hectic as the roads and interstate can back up. If you are driving, plan to arrive early and allow extra time and patience for traffic.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Here\u2019s a local\u2019s tip, when picking your seats at Lumen Field, keep in mind that the home side is on the west and the visitor side is on the east. The east side does have more sun exposure, and if you\u2019re worried about Seattle rain, you\u2019ll want to avoid Section 100 seats in rows A to Z, as well as the two end zone sections that don\u2019t have cover.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Eat<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While there are delicious food options inside Lumen Field, if you\u2019re looking to grab a bite to eat before or after a game, here are some recommendations nearby.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hatback.com\/\">Hatback Bar &amp; Grille<\/a> + Steelheads Alley: sports pub that will for sure be crowded but is perfect for those who love the game day vibe experience.

The Sounders are a championship team, bringing home two MLS cups, the U.S. Open Cup four times, the Supporters' Shield, and most recently the Concacaf Champions League trophy in 2022.

District \/ Chinatown Station for the Seattle Link Light Rail train and easily accessible by Sound Transit buses. Driving to games can be hectic as the roads and interstate can back up. If you are driving, plan to arrive early and allow extra time and patience for traffic.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Here\u2019s a local\u2019s tip, when picking your seats at Lumen Field, keep in mind that the home side is on the west and the visitor side is on the east. The east side does have more sun exposure, and if you\u2019re worried about Seattle rain, you\u2019ll want to avoid Section 100 seats in rows A to Z, as well as the two end zone sections that don\u2019t have cover.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Eat<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While there are delicious food options inside Lumen Field, if you\u2019re looking to grab a bite to eat before or after a game, here are some recommendations nearby.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hatback.com\/\">Hatback Bar &amp; Grille<\/a> + Steelheads Alley: sports pub that will for sure be crowded but is perfect for those who love the game day vibe experience.

Seahawks fans are affectionately known as \u201cThe 12s\u201d and you\u2019ll see plenty of 12 flags in the stadium.

The Sounders are a championship team, bringing home two MLS cups, the U.S. Open Cup four times, the Supporters' Shield, and most recently the Concacaf Champions League trophy in 2022.

The OL Reign was founded in 2012 as Seattle Reign FC and is one of eight inaugural members of the National Women's Soccer League. In 2022, The OL Reign started playing their home games at Lumen Field and opened the sport to a larger audience and more central venue.

Not only is it home to six professional sports teams, but it\u2019s also brought home 21 national &amp; international professional team championships, including, four WNBA championships, three&nbsp;NWSL Shields, two MLS Cups, and a Super Bowl.

District \/ Chinatown Station for the Seattle Link Light Rail train and easily accessible by Sound Transit buses. Driving to games can be hectic as the roads and interstate can back up.

The east side does have more sun exposure, and if you\u2019re worried about Seattle rain, you\u2019ll want to avoid Section 100 seats in rows A to Z, as well as the two end zone sections that don\u2019t have cover.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Eat<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While there are delicious food options inside Lumen Field, if you\u2019re looking to grab a bite to eat before or after a game, here are some recommendations nearby.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hatback.com\/\">Hatback Bar &amp; Grille<\/a> + Steelheads Alley: sports pub that will for sure be crowded but is perfect for those who love the game day vibe experience.

District \/ Chinatown Station for the Seattle Link Light Rail train and easily accessible by Sound Transit buses. Driving to games can be hectic as the roads and interstate can back up.

The east side does have more sun exposure, and if you\u2019re worried about Seattle rain, you\u2019ll want to avoid Section 100 seats in rows A to Z, as well as the two end zone sections that don\u2019t have cover.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Eat<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While there are delicious food options inside Lumen Field, if you\u2019re looking to grab a bite to eat before or after a game, here are some recommendations nearby.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hatback.com\/\">Hatback Bar &amp; Grille<\/a> + Steelheads Alley: sports pub that will for sure be crowded but is perfect for those who love the game day vibe experience.

Not only is it home to six professional sports teams, but it\u2019s also brought home 21 national &amp; international professional team championships, including, four WNBA championships, three&nbsp;NWSL Shields, two MLS Cups, and a Super Bowl.

District \/ Chinatown Station for the Seattle Link Light Rail train and easily accessible by Sound Transit buses. Driving to games can be hectic as the roads and interstate can back up.

The east side does have more sun exposure, and if you\u2019re worried about Seattle rain, you\u2019ll want to avoid Section 100 seats in rows A to Z, as well as the two end zone sections that don\u2019t have cover.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Eat<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While there are delicious food options inside Lumen Field, if you\u2019re looking to grab a bite to eat before or after a game, here are some recommendations nearby.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hatback.com\/\">Hatback Bar &amp; Grille<\/a> + Steelheads Alley: sports pub that will for sure be crowded but is perfect for those who love the game day vibe experience.

Not only is it home to six professional sports teams, but it\u2019s also brought home 21 national &amp; international professional team championships, including, four WNBA championships, three&nbsp;NWSL Shields, two MLS Cups, and a Super Bowl.
