Through Rain or Shine Frozen Yogurt Saves Seattle

By Paige Thor
Frozen yogurt might not be the first thing that pops into your head when you think about holding an umbrella to stop the rain from drenching your clothes or trying to stay as warm as possible in the gloomy shower city of Seattle. But change the perspective for just a minute here and all of a sudden there appears to be a frozen yogurt shop just across the street from where you’re standing as you mumble about the rain already sneaking it’s way into the top part of your socks. Suddenly you have an instant urge to seek sweet and easy yogurt salvation in a dry and warm setting just a skip away.
Sure maybe there will be a little bit of a line, but it’s frozen yogurt, the line will move quickly as each person only has to concentrate on perfecting the flavors of just one magically personalized cup. And the great thing is that you weren’t that hungry but you just needed a quick and healthy little snack to brighten your cloudy day and to forget about those soggy socks. Coffee and croissants can’t be the only snack you go to on a rainy day.
Point in being if you’re feeling discouraged about having frozen yogurt in a notoriously depressing city of clouds and rain drops, think first about putting yourself in the shoes of people who have to walk through the rain for days on end. Whether you want to have some fro-yo while you’re living in Seattle or whether you want to open your own shop, there are many reasons why it’s a great idea.
Here are four major self-serve frozen yogurt shops that have had a successful start in the Emerald City and if you ever thought about opening your own shop contact us:

Expertly located in Capitol Hill right in front of Seattle Central Community College, this Yogurtland location is often packed with college students and other passersby when most of the neighboring businesses remain quiet from the rain.

Seattle, WA 98109
