Didn’t get a chance to attend this year’s Sundance Film Festival? Don’t worry, neither did we. But, you’re in time for the next best thing: the Children’s Film Festival Seattle. The weeklong festival kicks off Feb. 2 and you and your little cinephile can enjoy more than 200 films and shorts in person or from the comfort of your couch. While you’re waiting for the festival to begin, bundle up and hit the trails at one of these scenic hikes close to home. If a hike is a bit out of the question, be sure to visit our playground of the week.
