Skating season has officially arrived. There’s a particular joy in gliding—or trying to—on cold days. I always go for the outdoor rinks, especially the ones strung with twinkling lights. It can be so romantic. And this year, there’s a new place to lace up.

A 71-foot by 38-foot covered Glice rink is up and running at Hyatt Regency Lake Washington, set on the hotel’s dock-level deck with a full view of the lake. It’s the region’s first waterfront skating experience, and the synthetic surface needs no water, electricity, or carbon emissions, making it a low-impact alternative to traditional ice. An adjacent holiday pop-up offers skate rentals along with hot cocoa and other drinks, and nearby fire pits make it easy to warm up with s’mores between laps.

“The synthetic ice-skating rink not only provides a memorable holiday activity the entire family will love, but it also keeps sustainability top of mind allowing us to offer an eco-friendly ice-skating option in any type of weather throughout the season,” said Scott Lane, general manager of Hyatt Regency Lake Washington.

The rink runs Thursdays through Sundays, with extended hours during Thanksgiving week and daily skating from Dec. 21 through New Year’s Day. Admission is $15 for adults and $8 for kids ages 5-12, with $5 skate rentals. You can book a session here.

If you’re looking for more places to skate this season, the free rink returns to Occidental Square in Pioneer Square Dec. 13-21, open daily from noon to 6 p.m. with complimentary skate rentals. On the Eastside, the Bellevue Downtown Ice Rink is back for its 28th year with more than 9,000 square feet of real ice; admission is $16-$22, and free lessons are offered on select days. Kraken Community Iceplex offers public skate sessions seven days a week, themed glow in the dark skates Nov. 21-23, and Buoy Santa photos in December.
