Kirkland Waterfront
Kirkland Rotary Duck Dash
You buy a rubber duck to support the Rotary Club.
Then you hope your duck is near the front and wins the race.
BBQ Party in Kent
So much food.
So much delicious food.

Every reference to the history of competitive eating in this article made sense to me. Should I be sad or proud?
Fall of the House of Busch
"Busch left Arizona to attend the Jesuit-run Saint Louis University, where, in 1985, he nearly rammed into an unmarked police car filled with narcotics detectives while driving home from a topless bar. The police began to chase his speeding Mercedes, thinking he was a drug dealer. Eventually one of the officers shot out a tire on the Mercedes. When they found out who was behind the wheel, they changed the tire. Nonetheless, they arrested Busch on assault charges. August IV said he thought the police were trying to kidnap him, and a jury acquitted him."
