The Seattle Metropolitan magazine, as much as we like to tease the big, chubby glossy, did sites like CHS a big Frosty the Snowman with Chanukah lights favor this year and did some of the grunt work of assembling the “who’s open on Christmas” list 2011 edition. Here’s their guide to selections from across the city. We’ve gladly accepted their gift, below, plus added some of our own findings if you’re planning to go out on the town this weekend. We’ll have details on the coffee, grocery store, etc. end of the equation later this week.
