No day is more linked to a color than St. Patrick's Day is with green.  Green shamrocks, green beer, green urine, green vomit, you name it. Bobble Tiki's not sure if St. Patrick was green, but he was an Irish saint credited with driving snakes off the Emerald Isle, most of which were slithering on the skin of DT-suffering residents.  The St. Patrick's Day holiday is most intensely celebrated in the American northeast by marching cops, firefighters and Broadway understudies, but you'll find a few parties around the South Sound - check out the list below.
