1. This Friday, Geoffrey Castle is back at , 600 Bellevue Way NE, with his electric violin and incomparable charm! Is it folk? Rock & roll? Celtic? By the way, this is day one of Dine-to-Win, and Cypress Wine Bar is playing! The free show starts at 8 p.m.

Free and open to the public 24 hours a day from July 1-4 at Sunset Hills Memorial Park, 1575 145th Place SE, the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall is dedicated to the veterans of the Vietnam War and honors all U.S. servicemen and women.
