Saturday night at the Moore: outside, long lines waited, people begged for tickets, while inside electricity was in the air, the crowd buzzed about what Anthony Bourdain might say.

Appreciating Anthony Bourdain (With Almost No Reservations)
Get Out
CELEBRATE MLK: Take a few minutes out of the day to check out HistoryLink's accounting of Martin Luther King Jr.'s one visit to Seattle and then head to Seattle Center for some of their events. The East West Bookshop on Roosevelt also has a "concert and program of tribute" from 7:30pm-8:30pm
