The Arts

Much of Seattle’s [1] cultural action—at least when it comes to live theater, classical music, opera, and ballet—happens at Seattle Center [2] (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 [3]) and Seattle Post-Intelligencer (www.seattlep-i.com [4]) newspapers, along with the Seattle Weekly (www.seattleweekly.com [5]), all have a complete listing of upcoming productions, as does the Seattle/King County Convention and Visitors Bureau (www.visitseattle.org [6]).
