Winter One-Day Stay in Federal Way

Federal Way enjoys a temperate climate, with winters rarely reaching freezing temperatures. As part of the Pacific Northwest, we see drizzling and light rain throughout the winter months. Be sure to bring your raincoat for your winter visit!

• Enjoy a hot breakfast and coffee at one of our local diners.
• Visit the Pacific Bonsai Museum and Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden, conveniently located next to each other on South 336th Street. 
• Grab a winter lunch of comfort food at one of our many local restaurants. 
• Head to the West Hylebos Wetlands. There you can view the wildlife refuge and visit the restored cabins of some of the region's 19th century settlers.
• Continue to take in the natural beauty of Federal Way. Take a walk along the Redondo Beach boardwalk and explore marine life at the Marine Science and Technology Center. 
• If the weather gets too wet, head inside one of our shopping centers where you can warm up and find local "treasures".
• After dinner, catch a symphony or show at the Federal Way Performing Arts and Event Center or the Knutzen Family Theatre at Dumas Bay Centre.
