Bored in Seattle while stuck at home in the midst of the novel coronavirus? We've got you covered.

Maybe a backdrop of bustling city slickers has been swiftly replaced with a Netflix series' theme song, maybe those character voices have even become your sound machine before falling asleep on the couch. Maybe you've tried your hand at a new hobby, perhaps crocheting, perhaps calligraphy, perhaps virtual happy hours? Maybe, just maybe, you might have sharpened up your cooking skills well enough to keep a boiling pot of water from burning.

Alas, if you've found yourself growing tired, even of new tricks, we've rounded up 9 Seattle-inspired activities to spruce up the at-home festivities.

Read on and click through the slideshow for all the details.

Order a few bottles of wine from a local vineyard and enjoy a classy evening with the Seattle Symphony...
As the Washington Wine Month of March and the novel coronavirus clash, it goes without saying Seattle-area vineyards are taking a hard hit. While tasting rooms remain closed, a myriad of Washington wineries are bringing bottled goods of the season's bounty to you, all while divvying out discounts on both bottles and shipping. Additionally, the Seattle Symphony has decided to continue sharing performances. The musicians have volunteered to share free broadcasts with the public, of which you can find a full schedule at their website. Additionally, all broadcasts can be streamed via the Symphony's social media channels on YouTube and Facebook. Viewers are encouraged to help support the Symphony during the wake of the novel coronavirus via donations here.

Get cooking with some local produce...
While Pike Place Market remains open, the Seattle Neighborhood Farmers Market Association has closed all neighborhood markets, though farmers and growers continue to grow and deliver their products to consumers. If you are interested in deliveries or pick ups at neighborhood drop points from the Association's over 200 market farmers and vendors, check out a lengthy list of produce options here.

Spring clean the home while doing some good, too...
What better time to crank out some spring cleaning than while locked up at home? Enjoy a sense of activity and productivity rummaging under beds, up in attics, inside garages and within kitchen cupboards as you clean up the house. With all those items bundled up in bags, consider donating to a local charity. Amid a vast shortage of donations to many organizations within King County and the Puget Sound region due to cancelled spring fundraisers, the Union Gospel Mission, Mary's Place, Food Lifeline and United Way of King County have requested donations. Individuals can find a charity to support at kingcounty.gov/audience/employees/giving/find-a-nonprofit.aspx.

Watch some of the most iconic Seattle sports re-runs...
There won’t be live Seattle Sounders games for the immediate future due to COVID-19. But fans can still feel as close to the team as ever. The club recently revealed “Sounders FC Classics” -- a special where the best matches in team history will be re-aired every Saturday at 7 p.m. PST while MLS play is suspended. The weekly games, which started airing on March 21, are broadcast on JOEtv, SoundersFC.com and the Sounders FC mobile app. Additionally, local baseball fans still have Mariners games to enjoy for the foreseeable future, which started on what was supposed to be Opening Day. The club is re-airing a different classic Mariners home opener every night at 7 p.m. PST through April 2. The games air on ROOT Sports.

Create your own version of Taste Seattle and travel the world...
Alongside a growing list of Seattle restaurants dishing up curbside carry-out and delivery, line up your own special night of the city's globally-inspired cuisine while supporting local restaurants. From Filipino and Nepalese to Japanese and Caribbean bites, order in and taste test all the spots you've wanted to try. Better yet, you can indulge while bundled up in those work day pajamas, too.

Take a tour of a local museum, aquarium, or zoo...
While the famed Museum of Flight doles out virtual tours of airplanes and their cozy cockpits, the Woodland Park Zoo is livestreaming animals stretching their legs about the premises with no visitors and fewer staff on grounds. Visit their Facebook page for cute animal streams, or their website for the occasional tiger, grizzly bear and bat cams. Additionally, MOHAI History at Home is a new digital way to explore the museum, alongside the Seattle Aquarium's aquatic live streams, Seattle Art Museum's virtual collections and MoPOP's virtual tours and shows.

Hop off the couch with a free at-home workout...
While numerous fitness facilities have closed their doors for the time being, they're still doling out myriad live stream videos for free to keep those cooped up active and healthy. Whether you don't have the time, equipment, or space, or whether you're seeking 20 minutes or 60 minutes of fitness in the morning, afternoon, or evening, we've got you covered. Click here for all the free live streams to hop in on, or here for all the free exercise apps on your own time.

Take full advantage of the Seattle Public Library, or order a book in from a local bookstore...
The Seattle Public Library is doling out thousands of eBooks if you've already rummaged through your shelves at home. Additionally, the library is divvying out 24/7 free access to music, movies, TV shows and classes. Want to support small businesses? These local bookstores are doling out free delivery and virtual bookshelf browsing.

Need a dose of the outdoors? Enjoy a glass of rosé while gazing at these Seattle botanical gardens and cherry blossoms...
It's around this time all those photographers pop up around the University of Washington's powdery cherry blossoms, and all manner of picnics commence. But, who says you can't open up the windows on a sunny day, sprawl out atop your favorite blanket alongside some picnic snacks, and catch a live stream of the cherry blossoms? Additionally, Capitol Hill's Volunteer Park conservatory is dishing out live walk-throughs of its botanical gardens.
