What to Expect at the 2016 Timbrrr! Winter Music Festival
The great performers of this year's Timbrrr! Fest in Leavenworth
The thing about Timbrrr! Winter Music Festival is that it’s so darn cozy. The folks at Artist Home put together a lineup of some of the Northwest’s best musicians – this year that list includes Grace Love and the True Loves, Industrial Revelation, Mindie Lind, Iska Dhaaf and many more – and pair the music with a snowy Bavarian village and hot toddies.
I had the good fortune of heading up to Leavenworth for Timbrrr! two years ago and spent the weekend with friends in a cabin, cooking meals, playing the piano and heading to the festivities to see bands like the Moondoggies, Telekenisis and Hey Marseilles. The whole weekend was festive and that sort of warmth that makes your heart feel good.
On January 29 and 30, it’s all happening again. The lineup is stellar, the village will be welcoming and the event will, again, be top notch. To prepare yourself, check out some videos for the bands here:

The occasion was “(Pop) Open Your Senses,” a…
Best Bookstore: Beguiled Books
This Pioneer Square darling is easy to spot: pink doors and candy-striped details mark its home near Occidental Square. Beguiled Books started in 2024 as a mobile bookstore, making its way from table to tent to trailer, and finally to its current brick-and-mortar space. Labelling itself as “Seattle’s Original Romance Bookstore,” Beguiled specializes in just…
Best Art Gallery: Foster/White Gallery
A pillar in Pioneer Square’s arts ecosystem, Foster/White Gallery opened in 1966 (then called Richard White Gallery) as the first space of its kind in the neighborhood. It soon gained notoriety for showing preeminent Northwest artists such as Morris Graves, William Morris, George Tsutakawa, and Dale Chihuly. In the decades after founding the gallery, its…
Best Museum: Seattle Art Museum
A vote for Seattle Art Museum is really a vote for three different art outings. The downtown museum pairs ambitious exhibitions with a global collection; the Seattle Asian Art Museum occupies SAM’s original 1933 Art Deco home amid the 43 acres of Capitol Hill’s Volunteer Park; and the Olympic Sculpture Park puts art out in…
