# 2026-07-28 Discovery Log

## Social source discovery: r/SeattleEvents

- Feed: 25 posts (3 new since last run on 2026-07-27)
- ❌ Skipped (already covered): Seattle Universal Math Museum — NeonCRM link (`seattlemathmuseum.app.neoncrm.com`) is the same organization already covered by the Squarespace ripper at `sources/seattle_universal_math_museum/` (status: added, PR #566) — via [Reddit post](https://old.reddit.com/r/SeattleEvents/comments/1v8719h/seattle_math_museum_free_event/)

No new candidates this run. The only candidate URL was a NeonCRM portal for an already-covered venue.

## Source discovery: wine/spirits tastings, tech meetups, karaoke bars, art walks, holiday markets, disc golf

- 💡 Candidate: DiscNW (Northwest Ultimate Association) — Custom HTML — https://www.discnw.org/en_us/e — confirmed real upcoming events June–October 2026; no ICS/API found, server-rendered HTML would need a custom scraper
- ❌ Skipped (already covered): all 18 Seattle-area neighborhood art walks — every schedule this vertical turned up is already implemented as `sources/recurring/*-artwalk.yaml`; this vertical is fully drained
- ❌ Skipped (already a candidate): We Rise Wines, Seattle Uncorked, Woodinville wine country, Seattle Christmas Market, Flight Club Seattle/South Lake Union, RailSpur, Little Red Hen karaoke, Dreamland (Fremont) karaoke
- ❌ Skipped (already live source): New Tech Seattle (`sources/new_tech_seattle/`), GeekWire (`sources/external/Geekwire.yaml`)
- ❌ Not viable: Luma-hosted tech calendars (Seattle Tech Forum, New Tech Northwest, SeattleJS, Seattle AI Week, DWeb Seattle, ctrlaltcreate.live) — no free public feed (Luma Plus API required), reconfirmed
- ❌ Not viable: Taste Washington — single annual festival, no 2027 dates yet
- ❌ Not viable: Washington Tasting Room — magazine events-aggregator page, currently 0 upcoming events
- ❌ Not viable: Rickshaw, Ozzie's, Hula Hula, Ballard Mandarin, Crescent Lounge karaoke — nightly/weekly house karaoke with no structured events page or feed
- ❌ Not viable: Google Developer Group Seattle — Meetup.com-based, no public feed
- ❌ Not viable: Puyallup Santa Parade/Holiday Market, Edmonds/Bothell/Redmond wine walks — outside Seattle-proper service area
- ❌ Not viable: general Eventbrite/EverOut/LocalWineEvents/UDisc/PDGA/Disc Golf Scene pages — third-party aggregators, not a single org's own feed

Dead-source check (`skills/source-discovery/scripts/dead-sources.py`): no new flags. Current `build-errors.json` failures are Browserbase HTTP 402 (credit exhaustion, a known non-fatal billing issue per `docs/proxy-verification.md`, not a dead-source signal) plus a handful of zero-event calendars (SAM sub-galleries, space-city, urban-family-brewing, tag-sand-point) that are single-snapshot and not yet confirmed as 30+ day trends.

## Implementing a queued candidate: Madison Park Farmers Market

Re-checked every `status: candidate`/`investigating` file in
`docs/source-candidates/` against the live sources (curl re-fetches of
Squarespace `?format=json` endpoints, Eventbrite organizer pages, and a
few fresh web searches across comedy/dance/market/brewery verticals).
Nearly everything is currently at 0 upcoming events (Squarespace sources
between seasons, dormant Eventbrite organizers) or blocked on
client-rendered JS calendars (Wix/GoDaddy) — headless-browser rendering
isn't reachable from this sandbox (`net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET` on any
navigation, including `example.com`), consistent with prior notes on
`axe-kickers.md`/`seattle-book-club.md`.

- ✅ Added: Madison Park Farmers Market — `sources/recurring/` — 1 event/season pattern, seasonal Saturdays May–Oct — see `docs/source-candidates/madison-park-farmers-market.md` for the 2026-season sourcing (operator's site FAQ was stale; confirmed via the Seattle Farmers Market Association's own market page instead)
- 🔄 Re-checked, still 0 upcoming events (no change): the-cuff-complex, queen-anne-historical-society, poquitos-seattle, phinney-books, wanderlust-nursery, human-people-beer, reconnect-south-park, reverie-ballroom, ncnw-seattle-section, seattle-cityclub, urban-community-councils-of-seattle, clean-greens-farm-market, ballard-comedy-takeout, railspur-seattle
- 🔄 Re-checked grey-drizzle-fibers: still 2 upcoming (1 Seattle, 1 North Bend) — same borderline geographic split as last check
- 💡 New leads investigated, not viable/already covered: Seattle Swing Dance Club (`seattleswingdanceclub.com/seattlewcscalendar` — Squarespace `page` type, itemCount 0, no real events collection), Cannonball Arts / Picklewood / Flight Club (both locations) / Lowlander Brewing / RailSpur (all already tracked candidates, no change), Emerald City Comedy Club / Laughs Comedy Club / Reuben's Brews / Seattle Running Club / CHASM / Punk Rock Flea Market / Seattle Local Markets (all already `added` or `notviable`)
