This week, summer in Seattle is picking up speed in all directions at once: from festivals and outdoor fairs to concerts, theatrical productions, and sports broadcasts that draw people into neighborhoods and onto venues. From July 18 to 25, cultural offerings are especially prominent—music in parks and intimate series at music venues, Shakespearean stories in lush green settings, and standalone evening events such as film screenings and open-air dance happenings. Meanwhile, the city keeps up a steady pace: art festivals, food tours, family развлечения, and neighborhood celebrations—so that every day you can find several reasons to step out of the house.
