Stuff to Do
This museum showcases late 19th and 20th century European art. Check out the films, lectures, music events and gallery talks.
Built in 1925 and voted One of Nation's Best Historic Theaters (2003). The Harvard ext theater has been named one of the very first "art" theaters in Seattle. Plays independent and foreign language cinema. The glorious lobby houses a fireplace, grand piano and a breath taking chandelier. It will bring you back to the Roaring 20's.

Your convenient one stop shop for foods, groceries, produce, fish, meat and high end deli. Get your dinner to go- chicken curry madras, stir-fry chicken in oyster sauce. They also feature a world-famous Poilane Bread flown in each week from France! Oui oui!
One of the finest (and when we mean "finest", we mean " $$$$$$") steakhouses in Seattle. If you're a financier by day, musician by night, try your hand at the board game located at the bar- you could win yourself a free, juicy dinner! Splurge!
