Marine air should sweep some of the smoke from Seattle this weekend, clearing the way for you to hit up events from the Seahawks Football Fest to the Picklr’s Courtside Bash and from Hot Jimothy Summer at the Crocodile to Smol Art Mart. For more ideas, check out our top picks of the week.
FRIDAY
PARTIES & NIGHTLIFE
Hot Jimothy Summer
Let’s face it, Seattle’s obsessed with Jimothy. Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck officially declared it “Jimothy Summer,” the Mariners keep adding Jimothy-themed games, and everyone from local crafters to tattoo artists is pumping out designs paying tribute to the little guy. Now it’s the Crocodile’s turn to offer up a Hot Jimothy Summer dance party with the iconic tagline “Live Fast, Eat Trash, Shake Ass.” You can get your groove on to hits from the ’90s and 2000s; compete in a “Walk like Jimothy” contest; enjoy garbage fries and trash can punch; and commemorate Jimothy with a tattoo, piece of merch, or face paint design. This is way better than staking out Ballard hoping to catch sight of the raccoon—a portion of the night’s proceeds are even going to the Green Seattle Partnership. SHANNON LUBETICH
