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:

If I were to summarize the sensation of attending Northwest Tune-Up, Bellingham’s three-day bike and music festival, in one image, it would be watching Tomomi Nishikubo—a Japanese street trials biker—doing acrobatic acts of derring-do on his bike while Seattle rockers Thunderpussy shred in the distance. My second lasting impression of the festival would be rounding…

Plan a summer day around these bookshops in Seattle, Bremerton, Bainbridge Island, Kingston, and Poulsbo.

Independent bookstores tend to be cornerstones of the communities in which they reside, and Seattle is no exception. In addition to helping customers discover their next read, these neighborhood hubs host weekly gatherings and events, like publication release parties, author talks, and book clubs. Many of them have cafés and reading tables that encourage lingering…
