Author Sherman Alexie is one of the most compelling speakers in the Pacific Northwest. If you didn’t catch him at Elliott Bay on Friday night — or at Rancho Bravo for that matter — you can spend some time with him Saturday evening at this Chief Seattle Club appearance. Also, don’t forget — today is Earth Day Free Day in the People’s Parking Lot at Pine/Belmont and there is a cool Central District plant swap that Cap Hill-ites can crash.
