## Source discovery: Markets (prompted by 5/16 Seattle Art Market flyer)

- ❌ Not Viable: Sugar Metal Customs — SLC-based metal-art studio doing guest welding workshops in Seattle. WordPress; `/events/` and `/workshops/` both 404. Their Seattle pop-ups surface via the venues that host them. Not viable as a standalone source.
- 💡 Candidate: Seattle Makers — Seattle makerspace running EventPrime WP plugin. ICS export disabled; RSS lacks event dates; `/wp-json/` 401-walled; list page renders via AJAX. Custom scraper required.
- 💡 Candidate: Big Whale Consignment — Recurring Sat/Sun Artist & Makers Market, EverOut-tracked. Likely Shopify — try `/products.json` first. Tags: MakersMarket, Arts.
- 🔍 Investigating: Pioneer Square Market — `pioneersquaremarket.net/markets` returned 403 from sandbox; live status TBD.
- ❌ Not Viable: Seattle Local Markets (Magnolia Flea, Fremont Night Market) — no ICS/RSS/API; site directs visitors to socials only. Not viable.

## Source discovery: Theatre, LGBTQ/Nightlife, Breweries, Community

- ✅ Added: a/stir — 818 E Pike St, Capitol Hill. Bar/restaurant/event space. Regular jazz nights, open mic, trivia. Uses SpotHopper for events (not Squarespace despite Squarespace hosting). Added as SpotHopper ripper in `sources/a_stir/`; no proxy needed. PR #264, post-merge tweak in PR #266. Tags: Music, OpenMic, Capitol Hill.
- 💡 Candidate: Julia's on Broadway / Le Faux — Drag dinner theater at 300 Broadway E, Capitol Hill. Weekly shows (Fri/Sat evenings, Sat/Sun brunch). Eventbrite organizer `80473185523` (3 upcoming listed) but primarily uses SimpleTix (`lefauxproductions.simpletix.com`). Need to check SimpleTix API. Tags: Nightlife, Capitol Hill.
- ❌ Not Viable: Abbey Arts / Fremont Abbey — Eventbrite organizer `11933347765`. Only 1 upcoming event currently. Insufficient volume. Tags: Music, Fremont.
- ❌ Not Viable: Pike Place Market (Eventbrite) — Eventbrite organizer `18639581077`. Only 2 upcoming events. Too low volume for a dedicated source. Tags: Community, Pike Place.
- ❌ Not Viable: Seattle Art Fair — One-time annual event (July 23–26, 2026), not an ongoing source. Not viable.
- 🔍 All sandbox web requests blocked — curl/WebFetch returns `x-deny-reason: host_not_allowed` for all outbound URLs in this environment. This is a sandbox-level restriction; CI (GitHub Actions) is unaffected. Sites confirmed live via WebSearch.
