Gold & Glory - a tribute to Charlie Wiggins. The exhibition features four-time gold & glory sweepstakes champion Charlie Wiggins and the original Wiggins special appearing publicly for the first time
in over ninety years!

Step into the world surrounding Charlie Wiggins: the energy of Indiana Avenue, the roar of the racetrack, the craft behind the Wiggins Special, and the community that built its own space for competition and excellence. Historical imagery, artifacts, sound and immersive design reveal a story shaped by brilliance, ambition, and endurance.

Museum hours: Thursday – Monday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Take brunch to new heights at Rooftop Drag Brunch, happening Saturdays at Fog Room Rooftop Lounge, 16 floors above downtown Seattle. Enjoy high-energy drag performances alongside brunch favorites, handcrafted cocktails and sweeping city views.

Hosted by Versace Doll and Seattle’s First Lady of Drag, Sable Jones St. James, each brunch features music, laughs and a rotating lineup of Seattle drag talent, bringing something new to the rooftop every Saturday.

The rooftop gets a seasonal twist throughout the fall and winter, with spooky-themed drag taking over in October, followed by festive holiday performances in November and December. Come for the brunch, stay for the show and celebrate the season high above Seattle.

The Dungeness Crab Festival is dedicated to celebrating the cultural heritage and maritime traditions of the Dungeness region. Our mission is to foster community engagement, support local businesses, and provide an enriching, educational, and enjoyable experience through our annual festival and related events. We strive to promote sustainability, economic growth, and a sense of unity within our community, honoring the legacy of the Dungeness crab and the natural beauty of our region.

CrabFest is a free, three day event held in downtown Port Angeles, Washington each October. Our festival is always held the same weekend as Canadian Thanksgiving, which falls on the second Monday of October. CrabFest hosts approximately 12,000 visitors each year, with about 4,000 coming across on the Black Ball Ferry Line from Victoria, British Columbia.

The event is a mostly outdoor festival, held rain or shine - and it can get a little damp on the Washington coast in October! It's a great weekend to pack your favorite rain boots. Festival activities include free live music, a vendor market showcasing 75+ amazing artisan and resale vendors, fun activities for the kids, a live Search and Rescue demonstration (Saturday afternoon, schedule permitting), free tours of a United States Coast Guard boat, beer and wine garden, and of course - food! We sell a festival crab dinner, which is the favorite for visitors, but also host many local restaurants with their best seafood specialties for sale as well as a few food trucks and other outdoor food vendors.

Grief doesn't end on a schedule, and most people stop asking about it long before it stops mattering. Celebration of Life Seattle is a full day for anyone who has lost someone, one year out or twenty.

Invited speakers share their own stories of loss. Researchers and clinicians put grief science into plain language. Grief and end-of-life practitioners connect people with real support. The day closes with an Evening of Mediumship, where trained evidential mediums share specific, recognizable details about people who have died.

Nothing is required of anyone who attends. No sharing, no explaining. People of every faith, and of none, are welcome.

Come as you are. Honor who you're missing.

Doors 11:30 AM, program begins at noon, Evening of Mediumship at 5:00 PM (doors close at 4:45 PM). Tickets start at $99. Every ticket includes the full day and the Evening of Mediumship.

Come hear a live bluegrass guitar set and clinic with Jake Eddy and Yamaha Guitars to celebrate 60 years of guitar-making for Yamaha.
One event is at our Tacoma location on Saturday, October 10, and a second is at our Yakima location on Monday, October 12.
Come by and listen and talk with Jake and members of Yamaha.
