If you do not live in Seattle and have decided to spend Thanksgiving in Seattle this year, you probably cannot cook up your standard gourmet Thanksgiving dinner that easily. But this does not mean that you cannot enjoy your Thanksgiving meal in Seattle in style. While for most people Thanksgiving is incomplete without great food, gourmet dishes are not what that day is all about. The whole idea is to spend time with the family and have fun, and feeling thankful for the lovely family that you have.
Thanksgiving Restaurants Seattle
Seattle is a place that is extremely popular for its dinner cruises and these dinner cruises are made more special during the Thanksgiving holidays. This year you can enjoy the Thanksgiving Dinner Cruise at Waterways HomePort aboard a specific Waterways yacht. Expect sumptuous buffet along with merriment and a festive atmosphere, not to mention the bewitching view of the city during the festive season. The cruise departs the Southport Pier & Promenade in Renton on Lake Union. You can buy your tickets online or call 206-223-2060 for large bookings.
Another Seattle Thanksgiving Cruise is being organized by Royal Argosy on the Seattle Waterfront. With such a dinner you just enjoy the dishes and forget about clearing up later. There is choice of turkey with all the trimmings or something less traditional as you cruise on the waters of Elliott Bay. This cruise is a whole package that includes a 3-hour cruise, a seated 4-course dinner, coffee, tea and soda and live music too. The menu boasts of potato crusted goat cheese served with pear hazelnut chutney, salad tossed with stone ground mustard and rosemary vinaigrette, dried cranberries, blue cheese and cinnamon swirl raisin bread croutons. And of course there is the traditional turkey with herb bread stuffing and giblet gravy, mashed potatoes. You can end this sumptuous dinner with pumpkin cheesecake and rum caramel sauce. A special feature of this cruise is that they have set aside an area for arts and crafts for children so that they can be occupied while you enjoy your 3 course meal.
The third Thanksgiving cruise option that you have in Seattle is the Dine around Seattle in Ray’s Boathouse. This is available throughout the month of November (excluding Thanksgiving Day however). So if you want a steal for a three course meal for $30.00, you may want to have the Thanksgiving dinner a night before. Sous Chef Seth Prigg will ensure that you do not leave the boat un-satiated.
Thanksgiving Activities in Seattle
For those who feel that they have had a lot of food and need to ensure a good balance between the intake and the output of energy, there is obviously the Turkey trot. Rev up an appetite for the thanksgiving dinner by joining in the 16th annual Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. The run is a 5K run or a 2 mile run-and-walk. There is also a kid’s trot and a wheelchair division too. The run starts at the Center at Norpoint. And if you sign up before November 14th you will also get a t-short for yourself.
