Must List: Brew Seattle, ‘Buyer & Cellar’ at Seattle Rep
What to do this weekend in Seattle
Must Drink
Get Your Tickets for Seattle magazine’s Brew Seattle
Friday (10/23, 6 to 9 p.m.) If you haven’t attended Seattle magazine’s Brew Seattle the past two years, you’re missing out. The annual local-breweries-only tasting bash corrals some of the best beers from more than 20 breweries such as Big Al Brewing and Schooner Exact under one roof and pairs it all with eats aplenty.
Must Ramble and Read
Experience 30 Readings and 60 Authors in One Night
Thursday (10/22, times vary) Calling all bibliophiles, bookworms and blue-blooded bluestockings, Lit Crawl Seattle is back for a night of gallivanting from Town Hall to First Hill with 30 readings and 60 authors all in one night. Cut a rug after the prose at Fred Wildlife Refuge.
Must Listen
Wayne Horvitz Ensemble to Perform during Silent Movie Mondays
Monday (10/26, 7 p.m.) In 1979, Seattle jazz icon Wayne Horvitz composed a score to accompany a theatrical version of 1920 horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Horvitz has reconstructed that piece for a live screening of the film during Silent Movie Mondays. The score will be performed by the Wayne Horvitz Ensemble and the on-screen murders will be performed by a somnambulist under the spell of a deranged hypnotist.
Must Crush
Seahawks Take on the 49ers
Thursday (10/22, 5:25 p.m.) In a post-Jim Harbaugh NFL, one might be tempted to shrug off a meeting with Kaepernick and company. However, this NFC West rivalry is a lifelong commitment, folks. (And we lead the series 18-15, since our first meeting.) Let’s get another “W” for the books.
Must See
Buyer & Cellar at Seattle Repertory Theatre
(10/23 to 11/22, times vary) True story: In order to store her large collection of antiques and vintage garments, Barbra Streisand had a village of faux shops built in the basement of a barn on her property. So, what if an out-of-work actor took a job as a shopkeeper in the fake mall? As they say, hilarity ensues, but also some smart thinking about our unceasing interest in the lives of celebrities.

Rearview Mirror: Godzilla, Cork, and a New Sushi Spot
Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
POPPING OUR SENSES I don’t think I’ve ever given much thought to a wine cork beyond the satisfying pop it makes when opening a bottle, but after spending a morning at DeLille Cellars in Woodinville with about 50 other people, I have a new appreciation for it. The occasion was “(Pop) Open Your Senses,” a…
Best Bookstore: Beguiled Books
This Pioneer Square darling is easy to spot: pink doors and candy-striped details mark its home near Occidental Square. Beguiled Books started in 2024 as a mobile bookstore, making its way from table to tent to trailer, and finally to its current brick-and-mortar space. Labelling itself as “Seattle’s Original Romance Bookstore,” Beguiled specializes in just…
Best Art Gallery: Foster/White Gallery
A pillar in Pioneer Square’s arts ecosystem, Foster/White Gallery opened in 1966 (then called Richard White Gallery) as the first space of its kind in the neighborhood. It soon gained notoriety for showing preeminent Northwest artists such as Morris Graves, William Morris, George Tsutakawa, and Dale Chihuly. In the decades after founding the gallery, its…
Best Museum: Seattle Art Museum
A vote for Seattle Art Museum is really a vote for three different art outings. The downtown museum pairs ambitious exhibitions with a global collection; the Seattle Asian Art Museum occupies SAM’s original 1933 Art Deco home amid the 43 acres of Capitol Hill’s Volunteer Park; and the Olympic Sculpture Park puts art out in…
