What to see in Seattle June 6–13

The new week in Seattle looks busy: from big outdoor summer concerts — Rüfüs Du Sol at the Gorge and seasonal shows at Chateau Ste. Michelle — to street celebrations and family festivals: Pride in the Park and Seattle PrideFest on Capitol Hill, Duvall Days with a parade and fireworks, Edmonds Arts Festival and the Washington Brewers Festival at Seattle Center. Active outdoors fans will find running and cycling events, anglers can take advantage of Free Fishing Weekend without licenses, and those seeking a quiet outing can board the tall ship Bay Lady, catch free concerts at the locks, or visit garden festivals across the region. The lineup also includes theater premieres and circus shows, food and wine events, family programs at museums and zoos — plenty of options for every taste and budget.
