A breakdown of winter activities in Seattle that would be greatly enhanced by being stoned, presented as part of our High-Brr-Nation issue.
JAN 26–27
Timbrrr! Winter Music Festival
Blazing trees among the trees near the Cascade Range while listening to quality live music in freakin’ January could be the high point of your winter. Two and a half hours east of Seattle in Leavenworth, Timbrrr! makes for a chill/chilling getaway in which you can indulge in skiing, snowboarding, and wine tasting in between catching live performances by the likes of Cave Singers, the Shivas, the Black Tones, Bread & Butter, Y La Bamba, and Wall of Ears, all of whom encompass varying shades of the psych-rock spectrum. (Leavenworth Festhalle, $40/$75.) DAVE SEGAL
JAN 28–30
National Geographic Live:
View from Above
Astronaut Terry Virts was among the crew that helped install the International Space Station cupola module, a 360-degree Earth and space viewing dome and workstation where Virts spent much of his time serving as station commander while floating up above us. He took a boatload of epic pictures and videos, many of which will be featured on a giant screen. Virts will be onstage as well to discuss the stories behind them during this live program. Who wouldn’t want to eat an edible before this? (Benaroya Hall, $28–$48.) LEILANI POLK
