Seattle Event Calendar

November 2009

November means... rain. But that's okay because the Seattle Event Calendar November 2009 says it's also time for Thanksgiving and the start of the holiday season. Seattleites never let a little rain stop them! Attend a Seahawks football game or watch the Macy Holiday Parade. There are also plenty of things to do inside where it's warm and dry if you don't want to get wet. Get tickets to the Nutcracker, go ice skating, or vote for your favorite gingerbread creation at the Gingerbread Village.
