Houston Dynamo @ Sounders FC Qwest Field	Sat., July 11, 1:00pm	SoDo	Family Events Sports - Spectator

Fremont Outdoor Movies Fremont Outdoor Cinema	Every week Saturday from Sat., June 27 until Sat., August 29, 7:00pm	Fremont	Family Events Film Film - Art House Film - Events Film - Repertory & Special Screenings
Underrated by other critics because they haven’t had as many bicycles stolen as I have, Tim Burton’s 1985 road-trip movie Pee-Wee's Big Adventure brought Paul Reubens’ cable-TV man-boy character to the big screen in all his adenoidal glory. Resolutely pre-sexual, Pee-Wee lusts... More >>

Fountain of Wisdom Seattle Central Library	Daily	Downtown	Art Family Events
Four years have passed, and the downtown library designed by Rem Koolhaas has agreeably woven itself into the urban fabric.
