Must Cheer
The Seahawks Take on The 49ers
Thursday (11/27) The Seahawks play sworn enemies the San Francisco 49ers for the first time since beating them out for last year’s Super Bowl slot. San Francisco may have a fancy new stadium, but we must’nt let them forget: we have those shiny rings.
Must Drink
Fremont Brewing’s Abominable Release Party
Friday (11/28, 5 to 9 p.m.) Raise a glass to Fremont Brewing’s 2014 bourbon barrel-aged Abominable seasonal beer at the brewery’s Urban Beer Garden. Abominable will be on tap and ready to take home in 22-ounce bottles, plus a brewer will offer insider info on the ingredients and blending process and how the beer changes with age.
Must Bid Adieu
Sendak’s Final Nutcracker Season
(11/28 to 12/28, times vary) This year marks the 31st and final season PNB will perform Tchaikovsky’s classic ballet using Maurice Sendak’s set and costumes. Don’t miss your last chance to see the hidden Wild Thing peeking out from the backdrop!
Must Delight
Bellevue Collection’s Snowflake Lane Begins
(11/28 to 12/24, 7 p.m.) Where else can you find live toy soldiers rum-pa-pum-pumming, glitzy light displays and a picture-perfect snowfall every night? Now in its 10th year.

COOKING WITH ASTER PANTRY A few leaves turn, my inbox fills with fall festival pitches and cozy brunch menus, and suddenly I want to stay home with a glass of wine and cook. I love this nesting season, though I’m not ready to give up summer produce. Earlier this year, I wrote about Seattle chefs…
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.

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.
