I've always been a sucker for Frisbee dogs. The speed and agility of the thrower and catcher is a thrilling expression of human-dog collaboration. Get your dose of disc dog teamwork on Saturday, May 31, at the Skyhoundz Canine Disc Championships (Petapalooza, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Game Farm Park, Auburn).

Life Behind Bars
If you want to get the blues, you've got to get low. If you want to find Highway 99 Blues Club, you've got to head downtown (it's got "down" right there in the name) to Pike Place Market and take the more than 150 steps to the bottom of the "hillclimb." The club entrance is at the bottom of another set of stairs -- maybe seven or eight of them -- and in the long shadow of the viaduct. By the time you walk through the joint's front door you're at sea level, or just below it -- as low as you can get without a shovel, or scuba tanks.

The second annual Seattle Cheese Festival took over Pike Place Market last weekend, and throngs of willing cheeseheads submitted themselves to its artisan-crafted madness.

The Outing: Next time you go to Seattle's Pike Place Market, take the time to look beneath the surface.
Below the popular arcade of produce and craft stalls is an often-overlooked warren of about 50 small shops tucked into the lower floors of the Market's main building.
