MUST WALK
Earth Day 5K
Saturday (4/20) — Seattle magazine’s first ever 5k run/walk follows a gorgeous route that wends through the Olympic Sculpture Park and skirts Elliott Bay along the Myrtle Edwards Park bike trail. A portion of each registration goes to the Green Seattle Partnership, a nonprofit working to restore our urban forests and parks. An eco-friendly beer garden at Bell Harbor will reward both participants and spectators at the finish line.
4/20. Check-in opens at 7:30 a.m. Race starts at 9:30 a.m. Post-race festivities continue until 1 p.m. $40–$50. Online registration is now closed. On-site registration is welcome. Starts at Bell Harbor International Conference Center, 2211 Alaskan Way, Pier 66; earthdayrace.com
MUST TASTE
Gutsy Food at Radiator Whiskey
Leslie Kelly fearlessly previews the unique food at Radiator Whiskey, which just opened in Pike Place Market. The menu explores a wide range of animal anatomy, including pig head, hot cornflake-crusted chicken livers and fried cow’s lips. Also on offer: house-made moonshine. Are you tough enough?
MUST ROCK
Record Store Day
Saturday (4/20) — Record Store Day is the perfect chance to show your appreciation for independent brick-and-mortar music stores such as Sonic Boom or Easy Street Records (the latter of which Billboard magazine just named one of the top places to shop for vinyl in the country). Select stores will celebrate with special releases, in-store performances and rocking discounts.

Opens Saturday (4/20–4/21) — This weekend the behemoth Bemis Arts building in SoDo (near Safeco Field) opens its doors to visitors.
