Monthly Event.............
 

Silent Reading Party 1st Wed of each month at Hotel Sorrento 900 Madison St, Seattle, WA

The Silent Reading Party is one of the weirdest, most wonderful parties you’ll ever go to, because no one talks to you and you can get some reading done. You curl up on a couch or in a wing back chair with a book or magazine or whatever you feel like reading, while Paul Moore plays piano and waiters bring you things.

The reading party, which turns 10 years old in 2019, is so popular that there is often a line out the door just to get a seat. The people who know what they’re doing get there an hour before it starts.

Just in case you forgot.........:sheep:

Slugfest Sat & Sun 9:30 to 5 Northwest Trek Wildlife Park 11610 Trek Drive E. Eatonville


It's the most unusual Northwest Festival ever - a celebration of slugs.

Why do we have this zaniest of festivals? Well, if you've ever hiked a Northwest forest, you'll know our slugs are among the biggest and best - especially the yellow-green banana slug. But they're also vital to our ecosystem, breaking down organic matter and returning it to the forest floor, where it becomes food for our beautiful plants and trees. Long live slugs!
