Post title: "Posted every week: free (and pay-what-you-choose) shows around Seattle"
Post date: 2026-07-02

A weekly-posted list of free and pay-what-you-choose shows around Seattle.
The user u/forrestblount posts this regularly. The attendtickets.com site
appears to be a ticketing platform — the /free page aggregates free events.
Could be a good source if the site has structured data (JSON/API) or if the
list can be scraped. Needs investigation of the attendtickets.com platform.

Re-investigated 2026-07-09:
- Heavy overlap with sources already implemented directly: this week's
  cards included GreenStage (`sources/external/greenstage.yaml`) and
  Seattle Center Festál (`sources/seattle_center_festal/`), both already
  covered as first-party sources; a custom scraper here would mostly
  duplicate events we already get from the primary org
- On top of that, the page is a rolling "week of <date>" snapshot (9 events
  at time of check) with no visible pagination or JSON API for future
  weeks — even the HTML is server-rendered with a stable `.show-card`
  block per event (title, venue, ISO `<time datetime>`), a weekly re-scrape
  would have no guarantee of a stable URL/shape over time
- Not viable: what little isn't already covered elsewhere sits behind an
  unstable weekly snapshot, not worth a dedicated scraper for the residual
