Seattle Snow Day

World's Largest Snowball Fight Guinness World Records Record Attempt
100% CHANCE OF SNOW

Come January 12, Seattle Center will be transformed into a winter wonderland with 162,000 pounds of snow from nearby mountains. The fun begins at noon, when you'll be able to register and watch groups build snow forts and castles. Then, come 5 p.m., the whole party will be ready to blast off with the main event: the massive snowball fight. Finish the night with a 12-venue pub crawl (http://www.snow.co/#pubcrawl), the perfect way to relive all your winter war stories.

Snow, Forts, Music, Pub-crawl, and You

Besides being part of the most epic snowball fight ever, what is the best aspect of a snow day? SNOW FORTS!!! Obvi. (Then snow day drinks...double obvi.)

EXPECT LOTS OF SNOW

EXPECT LOTS OF PUBS 12 bars and restaurants in lower Queen Anne will be offering discounted Snow Day drink and food specials. Check the pub crawl page (http://www.snow.co/#pubcrawl) for the complete listing.

EXPECT LOTS OF FUN 6.02x10^23 moments of sheer joy and awesomeness are just around the corner. This is a unique opportunity to celebrate the magic of a snow day with close friends and fellow snow day lovers. As a community, let's make this a safe and magical experience for all.

Here's how it will go down:

Noon: Registration begins
1:00pm: Snow Fort and Snow Castle competition begins
4:30pm: Snow Fort and Snow Castle winners announced
5:00pm: World's largest snowball fight
6:00pm: Pub crawl and war stories

I figure we can be gathered by 4:00 and play in the snow for an hour before the snowball fight. If people want to show up earlier and compete in the fort & castle contest (you have to form a group and sign up), go for it. A parcel of land and snow costs $1000 for the contest.

Where do I park?

There are multiple options. Right in front of Memorial Stadium is a small paid parking lot; there are also multiple parking garages for Seattle Center. For complete list and pricing, click here (http://www.seattlecenter.com/transportation/parking/). Since we are also an eco-friendly centric city we also recommend taking King County Metro (http://tripplanner.kingcounty.gov/cgi-bin/itin_page.pl), biking, walking...heck run there if you want!
