2020 Seattle and Socially-Distant Holiday Gift Guide
The holidays will be...different in 2020. Many of us who might normally travel to see family and friends will be staying local, but that doesn't mean we can't send thoughtful gifts and express our love from six feet apart. We've updated and expanded our holiday gift giving guide to help you find the right present for each important person in your life. Whether you're located in the Greater Seattle area or sending a gift to a loved one in Washington, these fantastic small and locally-owned businesses are all about bringing joy.
