114 things to do in Seattle this weekend

We do this every week: read through everything happening in Seattle, cross out the filler, and keep the stuff worth leaving the house for. This weekend (Oct 02–Oct 04) gave us 114 events to choose from. These are the keepers.

Quick read on the weekend: music and community event, 46 events on Saturday alone, and ticketed events start at CAD 1.55.

If your budget's tight this month: no freebies this weekend, but ticketed events start at CAD 1.55. Weekends don't have to be expensive to be good.
