# Discovery Log — 2026-07-13

## Source discovery: art galleries, bookstores/author readings, comedy open mic, theater, new venues, drag, craft fairs/markets, rooftop bars, nonprofit Eventbrite sweep, record stores

Dead source check: `skills/source-discovery/scripts/dead-sources.py` — 9
zero-event calendars, 12 external failures (11 are `Browserbase fetch failed:
HTTP 402` — Browserbase billing/credit exhaustion, not a source problem; the
out-of-band proxy-escalation job handles that queue. `historic-seattle` is
HTTP 403, already tracked as a known intermittent issue per the 2026-07-09
log). No new dead-source flags.

Verticals searched: Seattle art galleries, bookstore/author reading series,
open mic & comedy club calendars, theater calendars, new venue openings,
drag show venues, craft fair/pop-up market calendars, rooftop bar live music,
nonprofit Eventbrite organizers, vinyl record store events.

- 💡 Candidate: **Clean Greens Farm & Market** — Eventbrite (organizerId
  `96261948593` confirmed) — Central District nonprofit farm/CSA — 0
  upcoming events at time of check (Harvest Dinner is typically fall);
  re-check later in the season — `docs/source-candidates/clean-greens-farm-market.md`
- 💡 Candidate: **Urban Craft Uprising** — Custom HTML (WordPress, no
  structured events API) — bi-annual indie craft show (~150+ vendors) plus
  a handful of smaller markets — 🔴 Low tier, needs a follow-up pass on
  individual event pages for concrete dates — `docs/source-candidates/urban-craft-uprising.md`
- 💡 Candidate: **Lake City Summer Festival & Parade** — annual single-day
  community festival (Lake City neighborhood, 1st Saturday of August per
  2025/2026 dates) — no ICS/API, best fit is a `sources/recurring/` entry
  once one more year of date history is confirmed — `docs/source-candidates/lake-city-summer-festival-parade.md`
- 🔄 Status fix: reviewed already-covered venues surfaced during this
  search — no changes needed: Third Place Books, Elliott Bay Book Co
  (already `sources/`), Comedy Underground, Town Hall Seattle (already
  `sources/external/`), Cannonball Arts, RailSpur, Picklewood (already
  `added`/reviewed), Easy Street Records (still `blocked` — DICE venue
  name unresolved), Next Level Lounge / Readers & Writers Seattle
  (already `notviable`), Julia's on Broadway, Unicorn, Queer/Bar,
  Dreamland (Fremont), Skylark Cafe (all already have candidate files)
- ❌ Not Viable: **ARTS at King Street Station** (Seattle Office of Arts &
  Culture gallery, `seattle.gov/arts/programs/king-street-station`) — no
  public events calendar, exhibition dates, ICS, or API found; static
  seattle.gov page pointing to a gallery page with no dated listings
- ❌ Skipped (aggregators, out of scope per repo policy): EverOut Seattle,
  Bandsintown, Eventbrite generic city-wide search pages, AllEvents,
  The Infatuation, Do206, TheCraftMap, Seafair Parade Marshals — general
  listing/aggregator sites, not first-party sources

## Source discovery: re-checking stalled Eventbrite/Squarespace candidates, implementing DCC

Re-checked all open Eventbrite civic-org candidates from 2026-07-11
(NCNW - Seattle Section, Seattle CityClub, Seattle Downtown Community
Council, Urban Community Councils of Seattle) against the public
Eventbrite organizer API:

- **NCNW - Seattle Section** — now 0 upcoming events (the previously-seen
  "Bethune Tea 2026" event has since expired/been removed). No status
  change (`candidate`).
- **Seattle CityClub** — still 0 upcoming events. No status change.
- **Urban Community Councils of Seattle** — still 0 upcoming events. No
  status change.
- ✅ **Seattle Downtown Community Council (DCC)** — still exactly 1
  upcoming event ("Hike The Hood with the We Deliver Care Safety Team"),
  same as 2026-07-11. Per the source-discovery skill's directive that
  event count is not a rejection criterion, implemented via the built-in
  `eventbrite` ripper type — `sources/seattle_downtown_community_council/`,
  `organizerId: 102942974681`, `geo: null` (itinerant, rotating downtown
  locations), tags `Community`/`Downtown`. PR TBD.

Also re-verified Ballard Comedy Takeout (`investigating`, shared-ripper
fix already merged in #924) — organizer still shows 0 live events via
both the authenticated-shape public mirror check; the weekly open-mic
series remains dormant. No status change.

Spot-checked "Museum of Museums" (Capitol Hill, surfaced via a fresh art
gallery/museum search) — Squarespace-confirmed but every dated event on
the page (including calendar links) is from 2023, and the page includes
a "LAST DAY OF MOM!" event, suggesting the venue may have closed. Not
pursued further; no candidate file created since it doesn't clear the
bar (no current programming).

No changes made to CoCA Seattle, Human People Beer, Phinney Books,
Reconnect South Park, Reverie Ballroom, Uplift Climbing, Rat City Roller
Derby, Whim W'Him, Sakura-Con, Seattle Farmers Markets, Seattle Street
Food Festival — all previously investigated and unchanged.
