GET A CRUSH ON THEM: 2011 Cairdeas Crush Party, noon-5 pm. Cairdeas Winery Tasting Room, 3400 Harbor Ave, Suite 113. From the announcement: “Sample some of the delicious wine grapes we have brought in, try the freshly pressed grape juice, and of course try the wine! … After this event we will be open for a special event in November but closed for the rest of the season.”

HOUSE WITH HISTORY: A West Seattle home designed by Milton Stricker, student of Frank Lloyd Wright, is on the market for the first time and open to the public for an event 1-4 pm, including an appearance by Stricker’s son Peter Stricker (also an architect).
