Sea-Meow Convention 2026
Nov 7–8
Dog people have the luxury of showing off their pets on daily walks, but we cat owners have to settle for photos, hoping that an image can convey our cat’s unique personality and star power—it’s not fair! SEA-Meow Con offers a rare oasis for cats and cat owners to strut their stuff in public, with two days dedicated to our feline friends. There will be merchants slinging cat-related goods (for both humans and cats), advocates, Furries, speakers, musicians, filmmakers, and more. There will also be plenty of social cats on-site, including on leashes, in strollers, and in fenced areas for cuddling. (Exhibition Hall, Seattle Center, 10 am–5 pm) AUDREY VANN
Cranksgiving
Nov 21
Cranksgiving may sound dirty, but fear not: Aside from a little mud on your tires, you’ll ride away with a clean conscience. Started in 1999 by New York bike messenger Antonio “Tone” Rodrigues as a charitable form of mischief-making, it has now spread to more than 100 cities worldwide. This year’s Seattle edition will meet at 9 a.m. at Byrd Barr Place in the Central District, after which organizers will send participants scattering across the city to source and deliver as much food for donation in the shortest time possible—all you need to bring is a bike and a bag (recommended is bike lock and mask for when you enter certain food banks). While Cranksgiving is an unsanctioned, or “alleycat” race due to its unpredictable route, it is technically possible to finish it first, but attempt to tell any of the other hundreds of smiling, wonkily outfitted do-gooders handing in food to charity that they aren’t winners, and you’ll be sorely mistaken.
