No Snow? No Problem: Seattle Still Sets Record For Biggest Snowball Fight

The Pacific Northwest is known for a lot of things: Starbucks, Nirvana, the Space Needle. Some people might even say rain (though Seattleites only keep that rumor going so the rest of the world leaves us to drink our soy lattes in peace).

But snow? Not so much. Despite its high latitude, the Emerald City doesn’t usually get major snowfall, so naturally, it’s every kid’s oft-unfulfilled dream to make snow angels, hide in snow forts and do some damage in snowball fights.
