This week, Seattle and the surrounding area turn into one big summer showcase of impressions—everything from open-air music and film to festivals, theatrical performances, and strolls by the water and around the city. On July 29, evenings with city views and film programs kick off, followed by Shakespearean park shows, summer concerts, and street-friendly formats; on weekends, expect bright family festivals and weekend spectacles. The roundup also includes sports and food ideas for every taste: baseball, sea cruises, and tastings at markets.
The selection is compiled from the listings on https://www.events12.com/seattle/.
