What to do this weekend in Seattle
Must Brunch + Hunt
Easter Brunch Spots and Egg Hunts in Seattle
(Dates and times vary) For a weekend full of Easter-related fun, we’ve rounded up an array of egg hunts and other exciting events around town that shall not disappoint. And don’t forget to feast: find delicious Seattle restaurant suggestions here.
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
MOHAI’s American Spirits Exhibit
(Opens 4/2, times vary) With Washington playing guinea pig for pot legalization, the Museum of History and Industry looks back at the national battle over another illicit substance: booze. The new exhibit American Spirits traces the history and repercussions of Prohibition.

WALKDONTRUN Returns This Saturday, Turning Downtown Seattle Into a Sprawling Art Show
In its second year, the free festival brings 200-plus artists to a 20-block route September 19, with a secret garden and a former 7-Eleven stocked with art.
Most walks through downtown Seattle involve trying to get somewhere. On September 19, the crosswalk itself might be the reason to stop. Heap Troupe will turn a four-way crossing into a performance, one of dozens of encounters planned for this year’s WALKDONTRUN. The free, all-ages art walk stretches across more than 20 blocks. From 11…
At Two Dot Schoolhouse, Ruth Marie Tomlinson Builds an Artistic Community
For nearly 20 years, the Seattle artist and her husband have welcomed artists, writers, and musicians to a historic Montana schoolhouse. Now they’re searching for its next stewards.
At her solo exhibition last year at The Vestibule, Seattle artist Ruth Marie Tomlinson presented a new series of work inspired by her close readings of British nature writer J.A. Baker’s The Peregrine and Icelandic author Sjón’s The Blue Fox. As if on sheets torn from a sketchbook, her pages included excerpts and outtakes of…

HOOKED ON KNOCKS Admittedly, I am late to this one. The Seahawks’ first season of Hard Knocks, the HBO series that follows NFL teams through training camp, premiered in August, but until last week, I had never heard of it. To be honest, my football knowledge starts with knowing what a touchdown is and doesn’t…
