Must See
Choreographer Kate Wallich’s Splurge Land
(4/2 to 4/5, times vary) Emerging Seattle choreographer Kate Wallich continues to skyrocket in her career. Her new work, Splurge Land, showcases her trademark blend of millennial malaise, cinematic music and strobe-light glimpses of a nightclub, all backed by exquisite modern form.
Must Celebrate
Kick Off National Poetry Month with a Reading
Friday (4/3, 7 p.m.) Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Rae Armantrout is known for her short, sharp line lengths, humor, rhythm and an immersive approach—not to mention a lyrical eye toward domestic affairs. She’ll read from her new collection, Itself.
Must Root for the Home Team
Mariners’ Opening Day is Here!
Monday (4/6, 1:10 p.m.) This season we’ll cheer for the Mariners under all-new, eco-friendly LED lights. (Safeco was the first MLB stadium to install them.) All the better to see the Ms play the Los Angeles Angels in the home opener.
Must Revisit the Battle for Booze

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.
