Plenty to chose from this weekend:

The Seattle Cheese Festival kicks off today.

The Seattle Cheese Festival will return for the fourth year, May 16-18th 2008. As artisanal cheese production grows, so does the festival! Come taste more than 200 cheeses from local and international producers along the cobblestone street of Pike Place Market. The Seattle Cheese Festival is the first of its kind on the West Coast with artisanal cheese at center stage.
