No, that wasn’t the soft opening of a new LGBTQ-friendly jelly donut bar on E Pike Tuesday night. That was the first night of Chanukah inside Gay City’s Calamus Auditorium as Kolenu, Seattle’s Jewish LGBTQ group, held its annual Light the Night celebration. You can be part of another community Chanukah celebration Friday night as E Pike’s Temple De Hirsch Sinai hosts its latke dinner.

Spiritual in another way altogether, Wednesday afternoon brings a holiday celebration of a different sort to E Pike — Sun Liquor is holding a secret eggnog pop-up shop.
