True Seattleites know the difference between a bungalow and a Craftsman, but if you’re still a little hazy on the distinction, head to Historic Seattle’s 12th annual Bungalow Fair, which features an Arts & Crafts lecture series plus exhibitor booths showcasing architects, interior designers, antique dealers and craftspeople specializing in era-appropriate wares. Don’t miss the bungalow walking tour through Ravenna (separate admission; $20). Times and prices vary. Town Hall, 1119 Eighth Ave.; 206.622.6952; historicseattle.org

Comedian, entertainer and American icon Carol Burnett gets put in the hot seat as audience members ask burning questions of the six-time Emmy winner at McCaw Hall. Despite the unknown nature of discussion topics, with Burnett at the helm riotous laughter (as well as a Tarzan call or two) is sure to take center stage.
