Our arts critics have already recommended 59 great things to do this week and our music critics have picked the 44 best music shows, but there are still hundreds more events happening. To prevent some of the quirkier and more extraordinary ones from slipping through the cracks, we've compiled them here—from a Sandcastle Competition judged by Charles Mudede to the Storm Area 51 Party, and from the Dick's Drive-In Walkathon to the autumnal equinox celebration Luminata. For even more options this week, check out our complete Things To Do calendar.

Heading to Portland or Tacoma? Check out EverOut to find things to do there and in Seattle, all in one place.
