Happy Thanksgiving! If you celebrate, what are you most looking forward to? I like the pie. Well, Seattle is buzzing with ways to make the most of the season (yes, even if it’s pouring). Big news this week: Seattle Theatre Group bought Kerry Hall, ensuring this Capitol Hill landmark stays rooted in the arts. 

A Native American chef’s journey to embrace his roots is redefining what local cuisine can be. And climbing competitions are pushing boundaries in the Pacific Northwest.

Still scrambling for Thanksgiving plans? Don’t worry — Seattle restaurants have your back. And if you’ve been exploring our Readers’ Choice winners, now’s the perfect time to check a few more off your list during the holiday break.

Here’s what’s happening this week:
