To prevent some of the quirkier and more extraordinary ones from slipping through the cracks, we've compiled them hereâfrom the Arts in Nature Festival to the Seattle Anarchist Bookfair and from viewing parties for the "boxing match of the millennium" to a new block party with "roomba beer pong." For even more options this week, check out our complete Things To Do calendar.
