Phoebe Bridgers at Climate Pledge Arena and Seattle Opera’s Salome at McCaw Hall both start Friday at 7:30, one a chamber-pop songwriter in a basketball arena, the other a Strauss-era opera in a purpose-built house. Dinosaur Jr. anchors the alternative rock side of the weekend at the Neptune Theatre, with Halloween classics at the National Nordic Museum for a different kind of night.
