Rock out at Neumos, to anything from indie music to national touring acts.

Browse the stacks at Elliott Bay Book Company, Seattle's biggest independent bookstore. Then find a sunny reading spot in Cal Anderson Park, a block away.

Browse the art collection at the Seattle Asian Art Museum, then relax in the surrounding Volunteer Park.

Salsa or swing dance at the Century Ballroom, where instructors give free lessons before the party begins.
