A busy week in Seattle: on Thursday, April 29, the region's capital hosts several big concerts — Bush at Wamu, Queens of the Stone Age at the Paramount, and jazz with Karrin Allyson at Jazz Alley; on Friday and the weekend — atmospheric shows by Patrick Watson and a country concert by Treaty Oak Revival. Outside the city — the Skagit Tulip Festival with photo fields and farm stands (Apr 29–30), and the start of Seattle Restaurant Week with special menus at roughly 220 restaurants (Apr 29–May 2). Theatergoers can catch the musical Grease at Village Theatre and a selection of plays around the region; film fans — the Seattle Black Film Festival (Apr 30–May 3). For families and activity lovers — the Washington State Apple Blossom Festival in Wenatchee, wine walks in Issaquah and Kirkland, the Puyallup RV Show, and seasonal sails on the Bay Lady around Elliott Bay. Plan tickets and routes in advance — and be sure to check event details on the event sites. Source: https://www.events12.com/seattle/
