Get your foodie on. Try bites from restaurants in Columbia City and Hillman City while supporting the Rainier Valley Food Bank. Or go learn about the evolution of Chinese dumplings while you devour them at the Museum of History & Industry. 🍽
Talk police reform over beers. The monthly ACLU Flights & Rights event is always a hit. This month, it’s a conversation about police accountability and a Fremont Brewing tasting. (Queen Anne)
WEDNESDAY
Support Seattleites with disabilities. Listen to some fantastic speakers and panelists (e.g. writer Ijeoma Oluo) talk about the theme “No Human is Disposable” before a couple hard working advocates get awards. (Downtown)

THURSDAY
Check out the new murals in SODO. Join the artists from all over the world who are making the space along our light rail and bus routes in SODO shine. They’ll be giving tours of their artwork from 1 to 2 p.m. And while you’re at it, have a look at the project’s Instagram feed for a peek at what they’re up to. 😍 (SoDo)
Taste yummy things. The Woodland Park Zoo is having a wine tasting, and Seattle magazine will be handing out plenty of beer, wine, and food samples at their Red, White & Brew event.
FRIDAY
Get theoretical. Do experiments, test theories, sing karaoke, and build things while eating and drinking local. Bonus: Entry to the Terracotta Warriors of the First Emperor exhibit is included. (Queen Anne)
Explore the ‘Center of the Universe.’ This inside look at Fremont will school you on some of the neighborhood’s oldest buildings and the story behind the iconic annual Solstice Festival. (Fremont)
SATURDAY
Party on. So. Many. Parties. There’s a Pride party on Alki beach, a block party celebrating women in the outdoors at Optimism Brewing, a Cuban festival in SoDo, and a big celebration of Indian culture in Redmond. Plus, the local blog SEA The City is throwing a launch social in Capitol Hill. No excuses to stay home, people.
