January can be one of those wet, yucky months when the family stays close to home puzzling over what to do for entertainment.
You might want to think about downtown Everett where Zippy’s Java Lounge has lots of family fun options planned throughout the month.
Zippy’s, the hip WiFi and Internet coffee house that opened in 2005, is ever expanding its family-friendly repertoire by offering acoustic music performances, open-mike poetry readings on Thursday evenings, potlucks and knit and crochet sessions every Saturday afternoon.
Zippy’s also offers coffee from Seattle Hines Public Market and soon will scheduled tastings so patrons can learn more about the complexity of coffee beans.
