Downtown Weekend Happenings
Bite of Seattle & Expo 62
The Bite of Seattle kicks off today at the Seattle Center and will run through Sunday, July 22nd. The Bite features food samples from 50 local restaurants along with music & comedy entertainment.
The folks at Expo 62 invite bite-goers to drop by the Expo 62 sales center for a peek at the new project adjacent to the Seattle Center.
Aloha Plates is serving up Huli Huli Chicken, a Hawaii islander’s favorite. This former Honoluluan might just brave the rain for this tasty chicken dish.
Pike Place Market
The Pike Place Market continues its Centennial Year celebration this weekend with the Berry Bash. The festivities include Berry Shortcake samples, a pie baking contest which is interestingly followed by a pie eating contest, a chef demo, square dancing and a fish tossing game.
Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale
The sale which Seattleites anticipate all year long starts today. Nordstrom was founded in downtown Seattle 106 years ago.
I didn’t know The Bite kicks off today! I hope everyone has umbrellas. 🙂
Ben, you made me quite hungry while reading about the luscious food being served at the Downtown Weekend Happenings! And I had NO IDEA that one of my favorite stores, Nordstrom originated in Seattle. You are just a wealth of information.
I love learning something new each day. Thank you.

The Comcast Bite of Seattle is this weekend (July 16-18), and The Alley Hosted by Tom Douglas is a “tasty” attraction you won’t want to miss. For just $10 you’ll get “tastes” from some of the area’s finest restaurants, meet the chefs preparing some of this delicious food, and you’ll help end hunger because all proceeds benefit Food Lifeline. Check out the menu (link to: http://www.foodlifeline.org/news/calendar/index.cfm#BiteofSeattle) here.
