U.S. Coast Guard Tour Wednesday, August 22 WAC members got a behind-the-scenes tour of the sprawling U.S. Coast Guard Base Seattle at Pier 36 near Safeco Field, and some even got to try their hand at remotely operating a small underwater vehicle. The group visited the weapons armory and explored a search-and-rescue boat—we were on it when it got called into duty to help a capsized boat! At the end of the tour, the base's executive officer welcomed us aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Mellon, where crew members led us up the ship ladders to tour the bridge, rounding out an exciting and informative look at one of the Seattle waterfront's national treasures.

Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another girl, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraor- dinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is excep- tionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships … until the world decides to call one "good" and the other "wicked." With a thrilling score that includes the hits "Defying Gravity," "Popular," and "For Good," Wicked has been hailed by The New York Times as "the defining musical" of the early 2000s. u Thursday, June 13; 1 pm; $178 Thursday, June 13; 7:30 pm; $104-$178 Saturday, June 15; 2 pm; $125-$189 R O B E R T L A U R E N T R O B E R T L A U R E N T
