TR daytrip outta Seattle?

[alpine et]

So I need some time swinging tools at ice, and need to be able to do some toprope before I take to leading.

 

What are good destinations out of Seattle to daytrip top rope ice? I've heard Alpental valley has some possibilities, though I haven't seen much about conditions recently. I'm guessing the inversion destroyed most things up there? Perhaps just need to wait for it to be colder for longer again before ice in our backyard comes back?
