An eco-friendly beer garden at Bell Harbor will reward both participants and spectators at the finish line.

MUST TASTE
Gutsy Food at Radiator Whiskey
Leslie Kelly fearlessly previews the unique food at Radiator Whiskey, which just opened in Pike Place Market. The menu explores a wide range of animal anatomy, including pig head, hot cornflake-crusted chicken livers and fried cow’s lips. Also on offer: house-made moonshine. Are you tough enough?
MUST ROCK
Record Store Day
Saturday (4/20) — Record Store Day is the perfect chance to show your appreciation for independent brick-and-mortar music stores such as Sonic Boom or Easy Street Records (the latter of which Billboard magazine just named one of the top places to shop for vinyl in the country). Select stores will celebrate with special releases, in-store performances and rocking discounts.

With a mix of mediums, ojo|-|ólǫ́ examines questions surrounding the authenticity and ownership of Indigenous work.
It’s a phrase that’s been drilled into most of us since we were young children: When you’re visiting a gallery, please, do not touch the art. In many cases, it’s with good reason: the pieces on display are fragile, one-of-a-kind, or historic works that cannot be reproduced. It’s such an ingrained approach to the museum-going…

Circular Thinking I am very lucky to live just a 12-minute walk away from Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park. It’s a regular destination for my weekly walks and, aside from the world-class art, has one of the city’s best views of Puget Sound. Earlier this week, I went on a wet, windy walk and discovered…
