# Discovery Log: 2026-07-18

## Social source discovery: r/SeattleEvents

- Feed: 25 posts (2 new since last run)
- ❌ Skipped (content site): mynorthwest.com — news article about Seattle summer weekend events, not a recurring event source with structured data (via [Reddit post](https://old.reddit.com/r/SeattleEvents/comments/1uz0lho/seattle_summer_is_in_full_swing_with_festivals/))
- Second new post (t3_1uypbdv) had no extractable external event source URLs

No new candidates this run.

## Source discovery: arts/culture, community/cultural centers, bookstores, farmers markets, outdoors/running, dance, drag/nightlife, museums, escape rooms, makerspaces, vintage markets, outdoor cinema

Dead source check: `skills/source-discovery/scripts/dead-sources.py` against
the production `build-errors.json` — 5 zero-event calendars
(`sam-sam-downtown`, `sam-sam-asian-art`, `sam-sam-sculpture-park`,
`urban-family-brewing-urban-family-brewing`, `external-uw-school-of-nursing`)
and 12 external failures, all `Browserbase fetch failed: HTTP 402`
(credit/billing exhaustion — handled by the out-of-band proxy-escalation
queue, not a source problem). A single snapshot doesn't establish the
30-day pattern required to flag `status: dead` — no flips this run.

Verticals searched: Seattle art gallery/exhibition calendars, community
center calendars, bookstore/author-reading calendars, outdoor
events/farmers market schedules, running club schedules, cultural
center calendars (Filipino/Vietnamese/Somali), social dance studio
calendars, newly-opened venues, museum calendars (MOHAI/Nordic/Pacific
Science Center), escape room/axe throwing/board game venues, drag show
calendars, free park yoga classes, `site:eventbrite.com` organizers,
vintage/pop-up market calendars, makerspace class calendars, rooftop/
outdoor cinema series.

- 💡 Candidate: **Poquitos Seattle** — Capitol Hill Mexican restaurant/bar
  hosting a recurring monthly Copacabana Drag & Burlesque Brunch —
  confirmed real Squarespace events collection (`typeName:
  "events-stacked"`, `itemCount: 16`), but `upcoming` is currently empty
  (last posted occurrence Mar 21, 2026; next month's date not yet
  published) — fails the "at least one future `startDate`" gate today.
  `docs/source-candidates/poquitos-seattle.md` — re-check next cycle.
- ❌ Not Viable: **Sativa the Queen** — individual drag performer's
  personal touring calendar spanning Seattle/Tacoma/Portland/Vashon/
  Shelton; not primarily Seattle-focused and duplicates events already
  captured by host venues' own sources (Chop Suey, Stoup Brewing) —
  `docs/source-candidates/sativa-the-queen.md`.
- 🔄 Status fix: **Reverie Ballroom** — re-checked, still `itemCount: 0`
  (no live events collection); `lastChecked` bumped, no status change.
- ❌ Already covered (re-surfaced by searches, no action needed): Queen
  Anne Farmers Market, Ballard/Capitol Hill/Fremont/Central District/
  Columbia City/Georgetown/Lake City/Lake Forest Park/Magnolia/Phinney/
  U-District/Vashon/Wallingford/West Seattle farmers markets, SLU
  Saturday Market, Pike Place Market (+Express SLU), Elliott Bay Book
  Co., Third Place Books, University Book Store, Book Larder, Charlie's
  Queer Books, Queen Anne Book Company, SPL Authors & Books, Seattle
  City of Lit, Wing Luke Museum, Filipino Community of Seattle, Seattle
  Running Club, West Seattle Runner, Century Ballroom, All That Dance
  Seattle, GO Latin Dance Seattle, Seattle Dance Info, SeattleDances,
  Julia's on Broadway/Le Faux, Unicorn Seattle, Queer/Bar, Waterfront
  Park (yoga), Yerbana (Gas Works Park yoga), Seattle Local Markets,
  Seattle.gov Parks & Recreation, Marymoor Movies, Seattle Makers, North
  End Makers, RailSpur, Cannonball Arts Center, Picklewood, Next Level
  Lounge, Flight Club Darts.
- 🔍 Investigating (no change): none this run — Skyway Outdoor Cinema
  (West Hill Community Association) checked but not pursued: unincorporated
  King County (Skyway), outside Seattle city limits, and only 3 dates/year —
  fails both the Seattle-area and volume-worth-a-candidate-file bar; not
  written up as a candidate file.

No source implemented this cycle — this run focused on candidate
discovery and list maintenance per the request. No 🔥/🟡 candidate cleared
the quality gate today (Poquitos Seattle is the closest, pending its next
Copacabana date being posted).

## Source discovery: running clubs, breweries, comedy, bookstores, makerspaces, night markets, dance, poetry, vintage markets, plant nurseries, wine

Re-checked ~15 open `candidate` entries from prior cycles (Clean Greens
Farm & Market, Greg Kucera Gallery, Human People Beer, Phinney Books,
Queen Anne Historical Society, CoCA Seattle, Reconnect South Park, NCNW -
Seattle Section, Seattle CityClub, Urban Community Councils of Seattle,
Ballard Comedy Takeout, Century Ballroom Roadshow, Swing It Seattle) —
all still 0 upcoming events (Eventbrite organizer or Squarespace
`?format=json` empty). No status changes needed.

Ran fresh searches across running clubs, brewery release calendars,
trivia nights, new venues, bookstore readings, comedy open mics,
makerspaces, night markets, dance studios/socials, poetry slams, vintage
markets, plant nurseries, and wine/winery tasting rooms. Most leads were
already covered (Sonic Boom Records, West Seattle Nursery, West Seattle
Runner, Seattle Makers, North End Makerspace, Seattle Creates, GO Latin
Dance Seattle, Columbia City Night Market, Pioneer Square Artwalk) or
not viable (WonderSpace Workshops — mostly Eastside/Snohomish venues,
fails the Seattle-focused gate; Baila District — WellnessLiving booking
widget, no structured feed; Women in Tech Seattle — only 1 live
Eventbrite event; Swanson's Nursery — no real events collection).

- ✅ Added: **Browne Family Vineyards - Seattle** — custom Squarespace
  ripper (multi-city collection filtered to the Seattle tasting room +
  Seattle partner-venue events by `addressLine2`) — 4 events (Seattle
  Trivia Night, Seattle Bingo Night, wine classes, an off-site cocktail
  class at Tulio Ristorante) — `docs/source-candidates/browne-family-vineyards-seattle.md`
