Lace up for a good cause: the Snohomish PUD Community Energy Run 5K takes over the PUD Water Operations Center in Lake Stevens on Saturday morning, October 3. Run it, walk it, or just swing by — the morning brings sponsor booths, live demos from the PUD Water Utility, and a virtual option if you’d rather log your 5K from anywhere. Registration is $40 per person (price goes up September 1), and every entry benefits the Community Energy Fund, which helps Snohomish County and Camano Island families struggling to pay their utility bills. Runners and walkers welcome, 9 a.m. to noon.

The best night of Schacktoberfest, hands down. Pints + Pumpkins turns the Schack into a harvest party — a glass pumpkin patch a thousand pumpkins deep, local art on every wall, live music, raffles and a drink in your hand. Tickets go on sale August 1.

Kings Hall hosts Michael Mathers, an Eminem tribute act recreating the sound and energy of the real Slim Shady live in downtown Everett. Expect the hits, the attitude, and a crowd that knows every word.

Two Northwest favorites on one bill at Kings Hall. Leroy Bell — the Seattle songwriter who charmed the UK on The X Factor and has been writing hits since the ’70s — brings His Only Friends, and Seattle blues powerhouse Lady A shares the stage. Soulful, road-tested, and very much worth the trip downtown.
