The Sky View Observatory looks like an amazing place to spend NY Eve in Seattle!
Wow there are so many really cool things to do on NYE in Seattle. I love the Moulin Rouge option. That sounds like a lot of fun!
All these events look like so much fun! And perfect timing to begin planning. Happy New Year!
We are generally not big partiers on New Years Eve. But we have travelled specifically for NYE before to places that know how to celebrate. Since we are often on the west coast for the holidays, it was great to learn that the Seattle celebrations may warrant a visit. I would certainly not want to miss a view of the Space Needle show. A classic ballroom dance night would be perfect. Thanks for the tips!
Oh wow! What kind of cool places did you travel to for NYE? I want to do the event at the Chihuly Garden where you can see the fireworks through the glass ceiling right at the space needle.
Seattle offers so many cool ways to welcome in the New Year! So festive!
Those are some great ideas, that I would be up for any of them. The dinner cruise might be extra special, especially if you could watch any fireworks over the water.
