N E W Pioneer Square–New and Old Thursday, August 20 Come experience Pioneer Square like never before with guides from Savor Seattle Food Tours and the Seattle Architecture Foundation for a first-time collabora- tion. We'll explore and experience this ever-changing and historic part of the city through the eyes of a historian and a gourmet. The buildings have stories to tell from more than 160 years of use and reinvention, most recently with hip new urban places to eat, drink, mix and mingle. After walking a bit while taking in some of our city's history, our first stop will be at Altstadt on First Avenue South for a glass of spiced wine, one of this German bier haus restaurant's specialties. Then on to the next tour segment that includes a stop at Good Bar, located in the beautifully restored Pacific Commercial Building (circa 1900), where we'll enjoy some charcuterie and cheese. While we're there, take in some facts about our fair city's checkered beginnings. We'll conclude the tour with a surprise third stop near Pioneer Square. Event includes guided tour and three local restaurant stops. 6–8 pm; $75; cancel by August 12 How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying January 28–February 21, 2016 In this musical satire of corporate ladder- climbing and office hanky-panky, J.
