Seattle moms and traveling moms please help

Hi! I live in AZ and travel for work to Seattle. Read: I have no warm or rain clothes- ESP of the business casual variety.

I’m planning to bring a Patagonia nano puff and a lululemon always effortless jacket. Both are quite thin, but the lulu I believe is waterproof and has a hood. Under that I will just wear ankle length (ha) work pants and blouses. I’m used to working from home for the past 6 years.

I plan to bring 1 loafer and 1 pair of white reboks that im planning to wear to a client event. I always plan to explore the city for dinner (staying downtown) and wear jeans/top and the above jackets w reboks.

Does this all sound appropriate/warm enough? Thruthfully I don’t really have a choice as I’m going next week, but maybe I can plan for the future. Are the sneakers okay for client casual meetings and in the city?

Lastly, I’d love to find an ahi crusted tuna, preferably over wonton chips. I understand that’s a big ask but I’ve been craving it for years. Otherwise, just downtown recs for food is awesome ome (sushi, ramen, pho, Thai).

I appreciate any help!

@aaronq10 Seattle isn't super-formal, so I think your plans sound fine - but if it's raining those white Reeboks might get a little dingy if you're walking outside a lot. I used to live in Seattle and now live in Portland (so, pretty similar weather) and wear mostly dark shoes/boots if I'm walking around in the rain to cut down on the mud/wet street dirt factor.

@stuart1717 Yeah I was thinking that. I’m okay with it and washing them if they are Ick. The only boots I have are all pretty slick

@stuart1717 What kinda shoes do you wear?

@aaronq10 Waterproof Chelsea boots with solid grippy soles such as the ones you can get from Sorel. They have business casual styles.

The grates and cobblestone can get slick when wet.
