Rain is pretty much the first thing that comes to mind when people think about Washington, and although the Eastern side of our state doesn’t see nearly as much, we all experience precipitation at some point throughout the year. So, on our next rainy day here in the Northwest, be sure to pull up your Northface or Columbia hood, hop in your car and head out to enjoy any of these indoor activities:
There are quite a few indoor places in Washington where you can challenge your friends to a race, like FastKart Speedway in Spokane, Traxx Indoor in Mukilteo, K1 Speed in the Seattle area, etc.
This may seem kind of cliché, but there's nothing like warming up in a coffee shop with your hands wrapped around a magnificent cup of espresso. While you sit and enjoy your hot beverage, you can lose yourself in a novel, newspaper, or magazine, solve a puzzle, draw or write in a sketchbook, or even browse on the (usually free) WiFi on your phone/iPad.
