The Arts
Much of Seattle’s cultural action—at least when it comes to live theater, classical music, opera, and ballet—happens at Seattle Center (better known as "that place with the Space Needle"). For an up-to-date recording of arts events in Seattle, call 206/447-2787.
Calendar
The Friday edition of both the Seattle Times (www.seattletimes.com) and Seattle Post-Intelligencer (www.seattlep-i.com) newspapers, along with the Seattle Weekly (www.seattleweekly.com), all have a complete listing of upcoming productions, as does the Seattle/King County Convention and Visitors Bureau (www.visitseattle.org).
