SUMMARY:Bellevue Downtown Ice Rink
DESCRIPTION:For a little over nine weeks\, a seasonal rink sets up on the plaza at Bellevue Downtown Park\, with the waterfall and the downtown towers as a backdrop. Skate rental is included in every ticket. Regular sessions are $16\, rising to $22 on weekends and $24 over the winter break from Dec. 18 to Jan. 3\, while Cheapskate Mondays drop to $12 outside the holidays. The rink runs themed skate days through the season and offers free beginner lessons\, so it's a decent place for a first time on ice. Snowflake Lane is a short walk away.

SUMMARY:WildLanterns at Woodland Park Zoo
DESCRIPTION:Woodland Park Zoo's winter light festival swaps strings of bulbs for large illuminated lanterns shaped like animals and habitats\, set along the zoo's paths after dark. It runs from mid-November well past the holidays\, into mid-January\, which makes it one of the few big light shows still glowing after New Year's. Gates open at 4 p.m. with last entry at 8:30\, and select Night Owls evenings are 21-and-over with ID checks at the door. Tickets are sold online\, separate from daytime zoo admission\, and members get 20 percent off when logged in.

SUMMARY:Gingerbread Village at the Sheraton Grand Seattle
DESCRIPTION:For 32 years\, architects have teamed with the Sheraton's chefs to build a village of six-foot gingerbread structures in the downtown hotel\, each season built around a new theme you only learn when you visit. Last year's was a toy shop time machine. The display benefits Breakthrough T1D and type 1 diabetes research\, and the charity's volunteer 'elves' help shape the designs\, some drawing on their own families and cultures. Stop in between downtown shopping and the Westlake carousel; up close\, the pastry work is remarkable.

SUMMARY:ZooLights at the Oregon Zoo
DESCRIPTION:The Oregon Zoo trades daytime animal-watching for a nighttime walk through grounds wrapped in light displays\, from the main paths to the hillside trees. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. each night\, with timed tickets sold online in advance and priced by date\, so the Value Nights in late November\, early December and January 3 are the budget pick. Most animals aren't on view\, which is fine: you're here for the glow\, a hot drink and a walk with the kids. Take MAX to Washington Park and skip the parking lot.

SUMMARY:Westlake Park Holiday Carousel
DESCRIPTION:After a six-year break\, the downtown holiday carousel is back in Westlake Park\, presented by Nordstrom. It turns daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Jan. 3\, a nice reward after a round of holiday shopping on Pine Street. Rides are a suggested $4 donation that goes back into downtown parks\, and if that isn't possible\, just tell the attendant and hop on. Parents riding with children under 12 ride free. Look out for the giant 25-foot gnomes that pop up around downtown parks from Dec. 4.

SUMMARY:Zoolights at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium
DESCRIPTION:Tacoma's long-running holiday light show takes over Point Defiance Zoo after dark\, with light displays strung along the zoo's paths above Commencement Bay. It's a walking show rather than an animal visit\, since the exhibits close for the evening\, so come for the lights\, a hot drink and a loop of the grounds. Tickets are timed and sold online in advance\, and Zoolights isn't included with regular admission or zoo membership. Weeknights early in the season tend to be the calmest\, and parking at the zoo is free.

SUMMARY:Garden d'Lights
DESCRIPTION:Bellevue Botanical Garden's holiday display shapes its lights into the garden itself: glowing flowers\, plants and small critters tucked into the beds along the paths\, with a scavenger-hunt map for kids who want to find them all. Entry is by half-hour timed ticket\, starting at 4:30 p.m. The first two weeks have $5 Monday-through-Thursday nights\, and Dec. 8 is a sensory-friendly night with no live music and half the usual crowd. The garden lot is small and costs $5\, so many visitors park free at Wilburton Hill Park\, a quarter mile east.

SUMMARY:Redmond Lights
DESCRIPTION:Redmond's winter festival is more art show than Christmas display: a month of illuminated installations by local and regional artists in Downtown Park and Overlake's Esterra Park. This year's pieces include Ai-Chun Huang's walk-through woven mountains\, an interactive infinity mirror\, a glowing pop-art salute to Redmond and a light piece driven by the city's streams and trails. The kickoff on Saturday\, Dec. 5\, from 4 to 8 p.m. adds snow every 15 minutes\, a silent disco\, a kids' light fashion show and a lantern promenade. Everything is free.
