Think of Lit Crawl Seattle as a free cool reading at your favorite bar, times about 30. For one beautiful and awesomely weird night, over 80 Pacific Northwest readers and artists fill Capitol and First Hill bars with stories ranging from oyster foraging to the Jesus movement, photography of Seattle outcasts and innocents, to odes to football and salt.
In past years, we’ve hosted everyone from former National Book Award finalist Jess Walter to Lindy West. Throughout the years, we have hosted readings by VIDA, Tin House, critically-acclaimed artists such as Eileen Myles and Melissa Febos, and much more, at venues throughout the neighborhood—including Hugo House, Vermilion, Capitol Cider, Capitol Hill Library, and Elliott Bay Book Company.
In 2019, we’ll continue our tradition of 5 phases of programming: 5-5:45pm, 6-6:45pm, 7-7:45pm, 8-8:45pm, and 9-9:45pm, plus literary shenanigans at the after party at 10pm.
This year, you’ll get to take in 35+ readings and 80+ readers and performers on this year’s line up! Save the date: Thursday, October 24th, 2019.

Veteran food writer Julien Perry worked with the city’s most intriguing chefs to pull together a book filled with two of their favorite recipes. Although this seems like a straightforward task, Perry will share the behind-the-scenes process of developing a cookbook that also included translating the professional creations of diverse chefs into recipes that can work for home cooks. This is a must-attend session for anyone who has considered penning their own cookbook or collaborating on a community-based recipe project. Samples of a couple recipes will be available for noshing. Hosted by Kathleen Flinn.
