Phinney Food Truck Fridays
Food trucks are always a go in our books. If you feel the same then you definitely don’t want to miss out on Phinney Food Truck Fridays. You can enjoy eats from places like Sam Choy’s Poke to the Max, Panda Dim Sum, Bumbu Truck, Bean Fish Taiyaki, Delfino’s Pizza, Kiss My Grits, Falafel Salam, Seoul Bowl, and Off the Rez. It’s sure to be delicious.

See what’s new on Netflix
July’s Netflix additions are pretty big. So while we have these heatwaves it might be time to sit inside and enjoy a streaming sesh or two. If you need a movie or two or TV show, Netflix has you covered as always. We know you’ll all be watching the entire Twilight saga.

When was the last time you went to an album release? If you’re hankering to check one out you can head to Neumos to see what the grand reopening party will be like and see Spirit Awards album release. It’s sure to be a super fun night and a great way to support one of Seattle’s OG venues.

Beat the heat
We’re hoping that July stays a bit cooler than the end of June. But if it doesn’t it’s important that you have places to go to cool down. Between public pools, cooling centers, and more, the city has lots of options for you to check out. We compiled a bunch of them for you to make finding the best spot easy.
