GEORGETOWN SECOND SATURDAY ART ATTACK
Georgetown's industrial art scene pulls together on the second Saturday of each
month at the
GeorgetownSecond Saturday Art Attack
. This is the best time to
visit the neighborhood's myriad galleries, some of which have rather sporadic
opening hours. Almost the entire commercial strip takes part in the monthly
event, which runs from 6pm to 9pm and exhibits work in cafes, pubs, galleries
and studios. Complimentary drinks and snacks are often laid on. Unique features
include a free 'art ride' bus that runs up and down Airport Way S every 15 minutes
between 6pm and 9.30pm, and three-hour-long guided art tours undertaken on
foot with a group known as
Heart of the Attack
($5 suggested donation; book in
advance via the Facebook page).
Many of the best galleries inhabit the former Rainier Brewery.
Krab Jab Studio
(

; 5268 Airport Way S)
is run by four local artists who work with
clay, collage, painting and woodcutting. They also offer art classes. Other places
worth visiting are the Miller School of Art (

No discussion of Seattle's best bakery omits
Bakery Nouveau. The crumbly, craggy almond and chocolate croissants are as addict-
ive as other substances far worse for your health.
