Music & Art
Imagine: a rocket sticking out of a shoe shop and a museum built to resemble a
smashed-up electric guitar; wooden boats stacked with glass orbs and a statue of Lenin
caught in a vengeful Bolshevik-era grimace; a waterside sculpture park and a Saturday-
evening art walk through a blue-collar warehouse district; indie bands playing in
grungy pubs and hip-hop artists eschewing bling for thrift shops. No, you haven't just
over-indulged in some powerful (legal) marijuana. The city that inspired Dale Chihuly,
Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix and Macklemore has a lot to offer in the way of music and
art - and it's never remotely dull.
