Embracing Winter: Your Guide to Cozy Coastal Living

Winter on the Washington coast gets a bad rap. "It's too rainy." "It's too cold." "There's nothing to do."

Wrong, wrong, and wrong.

Winter is when the coast reveals its true character. It's dramatic, cozy, and honestly? It's when I'd want to be at SeaQueen.

The Art of Coastal Hygge

Morning Routine:

• Coffee by the fireplace
• Watch the storm roll in
• No rush, no schedule

Afternoon:

• Beach walk between rain showers (the beach is YOURS)
• Hot shower in the modern bathroom
• Book and blanket on the couch

Evening:

• Early dinner (cooking is fun in winter)
• Hot tub while it rains (trust me on this)
• Movie marathon or board games

What to Bring for Winter Coast

The Essentials:

• Good rain jacket (not an umbrella – wind will destroy it)
• Warm slippers (hardwood floors can be cool)
• Favorite comfort food ingredients
• Books, games, or download those Netflix shows

What You Don't Need:

• Itinerary (this is slow-down time)
• Restaurants plans (cooking at home is the move)
• Sunshine expectations (embrace the moody skies)

Winter Activities

Storm Watching: The Pacific shows off in winter. Massive waves, dramatic clouds, incredible sunsets (yes, even in winter).

Hot Tub Sessions: Rain on your face, hot water on your body, ocean sounds in the background. This is peak existence.

Indoor Coziness:

• Fireplace going all day
• Cooking projects (bread, stews, roasts)
• Board game marathons
• Reading entire books in one sitting

The Real Talk

Will it rain? Probably. Will it be gray some days? Yes. Will you have the beach to yourself? Absolutely. Will you sleep better than you have in months? Guaranteed.

Winter Rates

Here's the secret: Winter rates are significantly lower than summer. You get the same house, same amenities, same location – but for less money and without crowds.

Perfect For:

• Writers and artists (inspiration is everywhere)
• Couples (romantic doesn't need sunshine)
• Remote workers (that view during Zoom calls!)
• Anyone who needs to ACTUALLY relax

December/January Availability

We have good availability through winter. A lot of people book last-minute when they see a storm forecast (smart move – storms are the best time).

Winter at SeaQueen is about embracing the elements while staying cozy. It's hygge meets Pacific Northwest.

Come experience it.
