The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday is Monday, so closures and MLK Day events are included below as well as the weekend’s events. Sports-wise, there are sadly no more Seahawks games, but the Rat City Rollergirls kick off their season at the Key with their first bout on Saturday. And, film buffs should check out SIFF Uptown’s encore presentation of the Science Fiction + Fantasy Short Film Festival and one-night only showing of Glengarry Glen Ross. Happy long weekend to those of you with Monday off!
