THINGS TO DO IN EVERETT, WASHINGTON

CHUCK CLOSE EXHIBIT
DAILY AT THE SCHACK ART CENTER

TODAY is the last free Monday for you to see the Chuck Close exhibit at the Schack Center! This mind-blowing exhibit closes on September 5th. Here are 5 reasons not to miss it.

SETS IN THE WEST
TUESDAY AT THE WETMORE THEATRE PLAZA

Catch the last performance of the summer at the Wetmore Theatre Plaza on Tuesday evening. Free live indie tunes, tacos & bevs. Food & drinks start at 5 pm, free music kicks off at 7 pm. More info here.

MUSIC ON THE PLAZA
WEDNESDAY AT SNOCO CAMPUS

Hop over to Snohomish County Plaza for a midday break this Wednesday for live music & food trucks. Going out with a bang is The Michelle Taylor Band. Music goes from 11:30 - 1:30. Details here.

MUSIC AT THE MARINA
THURSDAY AT THE WATERFRONT

Everything music related in ending this week apparently. The last concert for Music at the Marina is this Thursday, and will feature the electronic masterminds SISTERS. For more details, visit their website here. You can reserve a table at Lombardi's here.

DURAN DURAN
THURSDAY AT XFINITY ARENA

Duran Duran are still doing their thing and it seems they're taking style tips from the Jonas Brothers. Duran Duran are just like a box of wigs – if you put them on at a party, people are going to have fun. All jokes aside, it's not like you'll ever see Duran Duran in Everett ever again. So, if you're a fan, or even a little curious, you should go this Thursday. Tickets/details here.
 

VINTAGE AIRCRAFT WEEKEND
FRI, SAT, SUN AT PAINE FIELD

Vintage aircraft lovers unite! Historic Flight Foundation's Vintage Aircraft Weekend is THIS weekend. VAW will feature plane rides, flight demonstrations, vintage automobiles of all sorts, an old-timey dance, live music, delish food, kids activities and more. The fun starts at 10 AM on Friday and goes through Sunday evening. Tickets are available here. For more information visit their website here.

EAT + DRINK

Saturday was the Food Truck Festival, so we didn't eat out much last week in an attempt to maintain our American Gladiator bods. Anyway, how about this year's Food Truck Festival, huh!? We think it was the best one yet. More trucks meant shorter lines and we had an army of helpful volunteers. A huge shout out to everyone who volunteered (seriously you all were amazing), peeps who attended, all of the vendors, the City of Everett, WSU, Wicked Cellars, Everett Makers Market, The Bubble Run and the businesses who let us shut down Colby on a Saturday. We are very, very grateful.

Everyone knows that organic food tastes better when you eat it in the Wylde.

Having trouble completing your Pokedeck? Here are some of Everett's Pokemon Go hotspots.

The Everett Film Festival crew sent over their August picks you can watch now, including an inspirational race horse that never won a race.

We suffered through some Evvy research last week and checked out Lazy Boy Brewing Company. Remember to vote for Everett's best brewery. Voting ends Wednesday at midnight.
