Italian cars, low tide beaches, drive-in rom-com, there’s more going on in Seattle this weekend

It’s going to be a hot weekend from a weather point of view, but there are many ways to stay cool in the Emerald City.

The America’s Car Museum brings in Alfa Romeo cars, a pop-up drive-in will feature a cool romantic comedy, and beach naturalists will be at several of Puget Sound’s beaches. Read on for what to see, do, and eat in the Emerald City from June 25-27.

Exhibitions: See cars from Alfa Romeo

Talk about vroom vroom. You’ll want to get pole position this Saturday as LeMay’s America’s Car Museum in Tacoma opens its new exhibit featuring Italian sports cars from Alfa Romeo. For a century now, the name of Alfa Romeo has been synonymous with innovative technology and magnificent design.


“From Grand Prix racers of the 1930s to today’s iconic flair and innovative technology, Alfa Romeo embodies Italian style – winning hearts, imaginations and trophies,” the museum explains. Why, even Henry Ford was known to have said: “When I see an Alfa Romeo go by, I take my hat off”.

The exhibition, Alfa Romeo: born of passion, in itself is an exciting project for special guest Fred Russell who will showcase 21 iconic examples in the museum’s Showcase gallery for a full year. The exhibition opens to the public on Saturday, June 26 at 11 a.m. The exhibition is included in the regular admission price, however, if you really want to give it your all you can attend the special private preview event 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. which includes light Italian bites, coffee and mimosas. Preview tickets are free for members and $ 25 for non-members.

Events: Pop in for a pop-up film at Bellevue

Since this weekend is going to be hot, can we suggest cooling off with a nice summer breeze while watching a classic romantic comedy? Vasa Park Resort Center in Bellevue will offer a drive-in pop-up screening of “My great Greek wedding” Friday. Located in the field behind the event center, the cars will be sorted by size for better visibility. Admission is free, but donations are welcome – and strongly encouraged – to ensure future in-car movies can continue. The concession stand will be fully stocked with snacks such as hot dogs, nachos, pretzels, candy, ice cream bars, root beer floats and soda.

Order your tickets online to keep your space. Doors open at 7:45 p.m. and the film begins at 8:30 p.m. If the kids don’t want to follow along, bribe them by promising to take them to see “The Lego Movie” on June 29th.

Leisure: Go in the pool with the naturalists of the beach

Taking a stroll along the shores of a local Puget Sound beach is not only relaxing, but also educational. Did you know that over 200 beach naturalists (relax, they keep their clothes on) make it a point to volunteer each summer to help Seattleers learn more about the area’s shores? By answering questions like “What do starfish eat?” “” And “How do lunar snails lay their eggs?” these guys teach beachcombers how to explore the area without ransacking the homes of these creatures. These experts hang out almost every weekend at low tide at beaches like Richmond Beach, Olympic Sculpture Park, Pocket Beach, Dash Point State Park, and others. You can when and where they will be this weekend here.

Good Eats: Jackson’s Catfish Corner is back in town

The story goes that when Woodrow Jackson first arrived in Seattle, he was disappointed to find that there weren’t any catfish restaurants in town, so he and his wife Rosemary opened Catfish Corner. in the Central District in 1985. His grandson Terrell Jackson started working there when he was 14. In 2009 Woodrow sold the business and since then Terrell has wanted to bring the business “home”. Last weekend he made his wish come true with the inauguration of Jackson’s Catfish Corner, at 2218 S. Jackson St., serving the same food his grandparents were known for. Menu choices include platters including catfish, snapper, beans and rice, coleslaw, cornbread, greens, hushpuppies, macaroni and cheese, okra, salad of potatoes, yams, okra and gallons of sweet tea.
