I don’t know about you but I’m always complaining that there is nothing to do. Which is bullshit because there is actually a MILLION things going on at any time. This is a reminder for me when I can’t think of anything to do that there are a wealth of events in this city at any time. Whether it’s theater, sports, music, dance, comedy stand-up, drag shows, film, museums, gallery openings or whatever, here is a great set of links for you (me) to find something to do before that existential dread starts to set in:

Lists/Calendars

• Start with The Stranger events page: https://www.thestranger.com/events/ which you can dig down into for music, movies, film festivals & events, theater & dance, comedy, art, readings, sports, clubs, etc.
• Then there is this nifty site: https://www.events12.com/seattle/ which thoughtfully breaks down events into little bite-size descriptions with dates, distance, and brief descriptions. Also, it has tiny icons to designate holiday-specific events.
• Eventbrite has a decent layout: https://www.eventbrite.com/d/wa–seattle/events/
• Seattle.gov has got you covered by the hour: https://www.seattle.gov/event-calendar

• Seattle Met has art, concerts, film, food & drink, special events, and theater by date: https://www.seattlemet.com/events/
• The Seattle Times has a rich entertainment section along with their events page
• Thrillist offers a list that really sells the events with bucket-list-sounding titles: https://www.thrillist.com/lifestyle/seattle/seattle-events-calendar-activities#
• Visit Seattle breaks it down into sports, live music, festivals, museums, theatre, and dance: https://www.visitseattle.org/things-to-do/events/
