Dive Bars, Design, and Delicious Potatoes: A Wild Week in Seattle!

If you’re ready to immerse yourself in a whirlwind of art, literature, and killer comfort food, this week in Seattle has you covered! The Seattle Design Festival 2025 will kick off on August 16 with a six-day celebration of creativity featuring hands-on workshops, interactive installations, and a theme that’s all about “Feedback.” It’s like every street corner in the city is joining hands to say, “Hey, let’s get creative!” Sounds like the perfect opportunity to rethink how our environments shape our experiences, right?

But wait, the excitement doesn’t stop there! On August 19, you can catch Isabel Cańas at the Seattle Central Library discussing her gothic novel “The Possession of Alba Díaz,” where ominous demons and dark secrets reign in 18th-century Mexico. And on August 20, indie-rock fans must see Horsegirl at Neumos—they’ve got that irresistible sound that’ll stick in your brain long after the show. I mean, if you like your music with a touch of nostalgia and pop, this band is definitely one to watch!

And what’s that? You want food? You’ll definitely want to try the Baked Potato at Loretta’s Northwesterner. Picture a massive spud split and smothered in gooey cheddar, sour cream, bacon bits, and green onions. It’s a mountain of deliciousness that deserves a place on your Instagram too. What’s your guilty pleasure food that makes you feel like a kid again? Let’s hear those stories!
