COVID cases are unfortunately up 18% in Seattle, which should serve as your weekly reminder to take social distancing as seriously as you did a year ago (i.e. double-masking, refraining from travel, and limiting your social activity to your immediate pod). Here are our picks for this week’s online events for when you need a break from your at-home routine, from a reading with Aftershocks author Nadia Owusu to Ivan & Alyosha with the Seattle Symphony, and from the Edible Book Festival (to which you can submit your tasty tomes through Friday) to a Peruvian-themed live music and dinner-delivery twofer. Plus, check out our guide to in-person things to do in Seattle.
MONDAY
COMEDY
Jo Koy with Chelsea Handler
Round out your Monday on a jovial note with this online discussion between comedians Jo Koy and Chelsea Handler. They’ll be talking about Koy’s new book, Mixed Plate: Chronicles of an All-American Combo, which the author describes as a “funny, sad, at times pathetic but also kick-ass tale of how a half-Filipino, half-white kid whose mom thought (and still thinks) his career goal was to become a clown became a success.”
