Here are the top three stories in Scottsdale today:

1. The Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale was one of three Arizona hospitality properties to make it onto the 2023 U.S. News & World top 100 lists of best hotels and best resorts in the U.S. The Four Seasons Resort ranked No. 74 on the top hotel list and No. 33 on the list of the top resorts.

2. Scottsdale celebrated its annual Western Week last week from Jan. 28 to Feb. 5. The annual event saw multiple activities throughout the community, and there's still a chance to view the "Light and Legacy: The Art and Techniques of Edward Curtis" free exhibit at Scottsdale's Museum of the West. The exhibit will be on display until Apr. 30. (citysuntimes)
3. A local Scottsdale restaurant partnered with a state foster care organization to raise money to help foster families. Kaisai Japanese Steakhouse and Arizona Children's Association raised more than $8,000 which was used to provide a great dinner and entertainment experience for eight foster families in December.
