Why here: It's toasty warm inside (particularly the shark and tropical fish exhibit) and looking at the colorful and exotic fish in this exhibit will remind you of tropical climes.

Why here: Nothing makes me happier than looking at pretty plants and flavors and smelling fresh soil. This warm, pretty, and historic site is an easy stroll that will take your mind off of winter and motivate you for spring.

Why here: More Chihuly and wonder works of swirling colorful glass in the shapes of flowers and beach life. Aw....bliss. And there's the hot shop. No coat required here!
5. The Pierce County Library System
Why here: Why not? Grab some books on tropical locations around the world, disappear in a story of action, adventure, or romance on a deserted isle, or study maps and travelogues for your next escape (or dream escape). The library has it all.
