Seattle Events Calendar

February 2012

Still raining! But that's okay because our Seattle Events Calendar for February gives you lots of information on events to help you and your family have fun anyway. After all, if we let a little rain stop us here in Seattle we'd never do anything!

This month is a good month to attend a good show at the Paramount, enjoy an evening of jazz music at Jazz Alley, or dream of spring at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show. It's a long list, so grab a cup of your favorite hot beverage, a pen, your calendar, and pick your favorites.

Northwest Flower and Garden Show
