SUMMARY:Edmonds Museum Holiday Market
DESCRIPTION:The Edmonds Historical Museum's street market moves into holiday mode on six Saturdays in November and December\, filling 5th Avenue North and Bell Street just outside the old Carnegie library building that houses the museum. Farmers\, bakers and specialty food producers set up next to artisans selling handcrafted gifts and artwork\, and holiday greenery is a big draw. There's music\, and the shops of downtown Edmonds are steps away\, so it's an easy morning to combine with lunch near the ferry dock. Note there's no market on Thanksgiving weekend.

SUMMARY:Proctor Farmers' Market
DESCRIPTION:Tacoma's only year-round farmers market sets up every Saturday in the Proctor District through Dec. 19. Shoppers come from across the city for local vegetables and flowers\, meat and seafood\, artisan foods\, beer and cider\, and prepared food\, usually with a local musician playing and plenty of dogs to watch. The surrounding blocks are full of independent shops\, coffee and restaurants\, which makes it a natural start to a North End Saturday. SNAP shoppers can double their dollars with Market Match at the info booth.

SUMMARY:Lake City Farmers Market (Fall Saturdays)
DESCRIPTION:Lake City's market switches from summer Thursday evenings to Saturday mornings in the fall\, and it keeps going until Dec. 19\, which makes it one of the few seasonal markets in North Seattle still open for holiday cooking. Look for it at NE 125th Street and 28th Avenue NE from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The scale is small and easygoing\, the kind of market where farmers have time to chat. SNAP users can pay with an EBT card directly at select farm stands and get up to $50 a month back on fruit and vegetables.

SUMMARY:Magnolia Farmers Market Holiday Market
DESCRIPTION:Magnolia's summer market comes back to the village twice after its season ends: a Fall Harvest Market on Nov. 21 and this Holiday Market on Dec. 5\, both 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at W McGraw Street and 33rd Avenue W. The December date pairs with Magnolia Winter Fest\, and the Caspian Chef is scheduled for a cooking demo. Come for farm produce and gifts from local makers\, then walk the village's small shops\, which tend to be dressed for the season by early December.

SUMMARY:Urban Craft Uprising Winter Show
DESCRIPTION:Seattle's biggest indie craft show fills Seattle Center's Exhibition Hall with hundreds of makers the first weekend of December\, and at least 30 percent of the vendors are new every show. Admission is free. The first 100 people through the door each day get a swag bag\, and the line for them can start well before the 10 a.m. opening. If crowds wear you out\, the ticketed 21-and-over Preview Night on Friday\, Dec. 4\, from 5 to 9 p.m.\, is capped at 1\,500 shoppers. Food trucks park in Founders' Court just outside.

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.

SUMMARY:Ballard Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Seattle's first year-round neighborhood farmers market has filled the cobblestone stretch of Ballard Avenue NW every Sunday since 2000\, and the produce comes only from Washington farms. In winter the stalls lean toward storage crops\, meat\, eggs and baked goods\, with makers' tables mixed in\, and the market runs from NW Market Street down to 20th Avenue NW. Street meters are free on Sundays\, and the online vendor map is refreshed every Friday by 5 p.m. if you're after a particular farm. Rain doesn't cancel it\, so bring a hood and make a slow morning of the avenue's cafes afterward.

SUMMARY:West Seattle Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:In the heart of the Junction at California and Alaska\, West Seattle's market runs every Sunday morning through the winter\, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Think of it as a neighborhood shop more than a destination: farm produce\, meat\, eggs and bread\, with the Junction's coffee shops and bookstores a few steps away. Nov. 8 is Applelooza\, a tasting of Washington-grown apples that's a good excuse to learn a few new varieties. SNAP users can pay with an EBT card directly at select farm stands here\, and the C Line stops right at the corner.

SUMMARY:Fremont Sunday Market
DESCRIPTION:Fremont's European-style street market has run for more than 35 years\, and it doesn't take the winter off. From November on it moves under cover at the Fremont Bridge location\, which is heated\, with a second covered spot on 34th next to the market's own Sundays Coffee. Expect a mix of vintage and flea finds\, local artisans and a curbside row of food trucks that makes it a decent brunch plan. Ballard's farmers market is a two-minute drive west if you want to make a morning of both.

SUMMARY:Capitol Hill Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:The Denny Way entrance to Capitol Hill Station opens straight onto this market\, which sets up on E Barbara Bailey Way between Broadway and 10th every Sunday of the year. Winter hours stay at 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.\, a late enough start for brunch first. Expect Washington farm produce\, meat and baked goods\, and on Nov. 15 the market hosts Applelooza\, a tasting of the wide range of apples grown around the state. Street parking is free on Sundays\, though it fills fast on the Hill.

SUMMARY:New Tech Seattle Monthly Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Seattle's biggest recurring tech meetup has gathered founders\, developers\, recruiters\, investors and the tech-curious every month since 2013. The format is friendly and fast: an hour of block-party-style networking with appetizers and a cash bar\, then a run of eight-minute presentations from local founders and community leaders\, each followed by a few minutes of questions. It meets at The Collective in South Lake Union\, and the conversation spills into the building's community space afterward. If you're new to town or new to the industry\, it's one of the easier rooms in Seattle to walk into alone.

SUMMARY:Capitol Hill Art Walk
DESCRIPTION:On the second Thursday of each month\, galleries\, boutiques\, bars and cafes across Capitol Hill hang new work and stay open late\, from about 5 to 8 p.m. It's looser and younger than the downtown walks: as likely to mean a photo show in a coffee shop or a pop-up in a vintage store as a white-walled gallery. Chophouse Row on 11th Avenue is a reliable anchor\, with its restaurants open and serving during the walk. Grab the online art map first\, then work your way along Pike\, Pine and 12th.

SUMMARY:Free Thursday Nights at Tacoma Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Tacoma Art Museum stays open until 8 p.m. on Thursdays\, and admission is free from 5 o'clock on. That's three hours to see Northwest and Western art in the Haub Family Collection\, the Kent Monkman and Grafton Tyler Brown pairing before it closes Jan. 3\, and the new Internet Speed show from Nov. 21. The museum sits on Pacific Avenue across from Union Station and a short walk from the Link stop\, so it's easy to fold into dinner downtown. Regular admission is $18 for adults the rest of the week.

SUMMARY:The Lights of Christmas at Warm Beach Camp
DESCRIPTION:For its 30th season\, the Northwest's big Christmas light festival at Warm Beach Camp\, north of Marysville near Stanwood\, becomes mainly a walking event. Guests stroll at their own pace past more than a million lights\, with a Christmas market\, food\, costumed characters\, mini-golf\, a light maze and train rides along the way. It runs on select nights only\, and every ticket must be bought online ahead with limited entries per hour. Three Thursdays are kept as drive-thru nights for anyone who'd rather stay warm in the car\, though those skip the activity stops.

SUMMARY:Santa Trains at the Northwest Railway Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Northwest Railway Museum has run Santa trains through the Snoqualmie Valley every year since 1969. Families pick between two rides. The 40-minute Yuletide Express leaves the Snoqualmie Depot\, climbs past Snoqualmie Falls\, and Santa visits every family on board. The two-hour North Pole Limited leaves North Bend for the museum's decorated Railway History Campus\, with cookies\, cocoa\, crafts and a visit with Santa in a restored chapel car before the ride back. Every child gets a gift\, and tickets go fast.

SUMMARY:International Ballet Theatre: The Nutcracker
DESCRIPTION:If McCaw Hall feels far from the Eastside\, Bellevue's own Nutcracker plays the Meydenbauer Center Theatre for two weeks before Christmas. International Ballet Theatre roots its version in the original 1892 production\, keeping the classical structure with full scenery and bright costumes. The theater is smaller than Seattle's big houses\, which puts every seat closer to the stage\, a real plus for young first-timers. Pair a matinee with Snowflake Lane at 7 p.m.\, a few blocks away on Bellevue Way.

SUMMARY:Sips & S'mores at Bell Street Park
DESCRIPTION:Belltown's shared street becomes a small holiday block party for an evening\, with free hot drinks\, sweet treats and s'mores\, plus live music. It's an easy after-work stop on a dark December Friday\, and a good excuse to explore Belltown's bars and restaurants afterward. Bell Street Park runs through the heart of the neighborhood\, so you can walk over from the waterfront or Pike Place Market in a few minutes. Dress for drizzle; the drinks are hot.

SUMMARY:Tacoma City Ballet: The Nutcracker
DESCRIPTION:Tacoma City Ballet has danced The Nutcracker for 71 years\, and its home is the 1918 Pantages Theater on Broadway\, an ornate vaudeville house that suits the story's old-fashioned magic. The run is short\, two weekends in mid-December\, with an opening Friday evening show and the rest as 2 p.m. matinees that work well for younger kids. Downtown Tacoma is decked out by then\, so plan a pre-show lunch nearby or a walk through the Theater District afterward. For South Sound families\, it beats the drive to Seattle for the big-house version.

SUMMARY:Christmas Ship Parade of Boats Viewing Party in Fremont
DESCRIPTION:For the 11th Parade of Boats\, privately owned boats strung with lights fall in around the Christmas Ship as it leaves Lake Union Park\, and the whole flotilla cruises past Fremont while the Dickens Carolers sing from the deck. Evanston Plaza is the official free viewing spot\, close to the water at the north end of the Fremont Bridge. The choir performance runs from 8:20 to 9:10 p.m. Dress for a wet December night\, and plan dinner or a drink in Fremont before or after\, since the neighborhood's bars and restaurants are a short walk away.

SUMMARY:University District Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Every Saturday\, year-round\, farmers take over University Way NE between 50th and 52nd\, two blocks from the U District light rail station. Winter is the season for squash\, roots\, apples and hardy greens\, and the market's chef demo series keeps going into December: the Husky Culinary Club on Nov. 7\, Anna of Yoka Miso on Dec. 5 and Caroline Wright on Dec. 19. SNAP shoppers get an unlimited dollar-for-dollar match at the manager's booth. Parking in the nearby U Heights lots is a suggested $3 donation\, but the train is easier.

SUMMARY:Edmonds Museum Holiday Market
DESCRIPTION:The Edmonds Historical Museum's street market moves into holiday mode on six Saturdays in November and December\, filling 5th Avenue North and Bell Street just outside the old Carnegie library building that houses the museum. Farmers\, bakers and specialty food producers set up next to artisans selling handcrafted gifts and artwork\, and holiday greenery is a big draw. There's music\, and the shops of downtown Edmonds are steps away\, so it's an easy morning to combine with lunch near the ferry dock. Note there's no market on Thanksgiving weekend.

SUMMARY:Proctor Farmers' Market
DESCRIPTION:Tacoma's only year-round farmers market sets up every Saturday in the Proctor District through Dec. 19. Shoppers come from across the city for local vegetables and flowers\, meat and seafood\, artisan foods\, beer and cider\, and prepared food\, usually with a local musician playing and plenty of dogs to watch. The surrounding blocks are full of independent shops\, coffee and restaurants\, which makes it a natural start to a North End Saturday. SNAP shoppers can double their dollars with Market Match at the info booth.

SUMMARY:Lake City Farmers Market (Fall Saturdays)
DESCRIPTION:Lake City's market switches from summer Thursday evenings to Saturday mornings in the fall\, and it keeps going until Dec. 19\, which makes it one of the few seasonal markets in North Seattle still open for holiday cooking. Look for it at NE 125th Street and 28th Avenue NE from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The scale is small and easygoing\, the kind of market where farmers have time to chat. SNAP users can pay with an EBT card directly at select farm stands and get up to $50 a month back on fruit and vegetables.

SUMMARY:Occidental Square Holiday Ice Rink and Holiday Bazaar
DESCRIPTION:Pioneer Square's tree-lined plaza gets a free pop-up ice rink for nine days in December\, presented by Alaska Airlines\, with loaner skates included. It's open noon to 6 p.m. daily and welcomes every skill level\, so wobbly first-timers are in good company. Opening day\, Saturday\, Dec. 12\, brings the Occidental Square Holiday Bazaar from noon to 5 p.m.\, with more than 30 local makers selling crafts\, art and sustainable gifts. Warm up afterward at one of the neighborhood's cafes\, a block or two from the square.

SUMMARY:Tacoma City Ballet: The Nutcracker
DESCRIPTION:Tacoma City Ballet has danced The Nutcracker for 71 years\, and its home is the 1918 Pantages Theater on Broadway\, an ornate vaudeville house that suits the story's old-fashioned magic. The run is short\, two weekends in mid-December\, with an opening Friday evening show and the rest as 2 p.m. matinees that work well for younger kids. Downtown Tacoma is decked out by then\, so plan a pre-show lunch nearby or a walk through the Theater District afterward. For South Sound families\, it beats the drive to Seattle for the big-house version.

SUMMARY:Georgetown Art Attack: Very Open House at Equinox Studios
DESCRIPTION:Georgetown's Art Attack has long brought the neighborhood's studios\, galleries and shops out on the second Saturday of the month\, and December's edition centers on Equinox Studios\, the warren of artist workspaces in old industrial buildings on 5th Avenue S. Gage Academy of Art\, which runs four of its seven ateliers there\, opens them for a Very Open House: walk through working studios\, see pieces in progress and new exhibitions\, and meet the instructors and students.

SUMMARY:Ballard Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Seattle's first year-round neighborhood farmers market has filled the cobblestone stretch of Ballard Avenue NW every Sunday since 2000\, and the produce comes only from Washington farms. In winter the stalls lean toward storage crops\, meat\, eggs and baked goods\, with makers' tables mixed in\, and the market runs from NW Market Street down to 20th Avenue NW. Street meters are free on Sundays\, and the online vendor map is refreshed every Friday by 5 p.m. if you're after a particular farm. Rain doesn't cancel it\, so bring a hood and make a slow morning of the avenue's cafes afterward.

SUMMARY:West Seattle Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:In the heart of the Junction at California and Alaska\, West Seattle's market runs every Sunday morning through the winter\, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Think of it as a neighborhood shop more than a destination: farm produce\, meat\, eggs and bread\, with the Junction's coffee shops and bookstores a few steps away. Nov. 8 is Applelooza\, a tasting of Washington-grown apples that's a good excuse to learn a few new varieties. SNAP users can pay with an EBT card directly at select farm stands here\, and the C Line stops right at the corner.

SUMMARY:Fremont Sunday Market
DESCRIPTION:Fremont's European-style street market has run for more than 35 years\, and it doesn't take the winter off. From November on it moves under cover at the Fremont Bridge location\, which is heated\, with a second covered spot on 34th next to the market's own Sundays Coffee. Expect a mix of vintage and flea finds\, local artisans and a curbside row of food trucks that makes it a decent brunch plan. Ballard's farmers market is a two-minute drive west if you want to make a morning of both.

DESCRIPTION:The Denny Way entrance to Capitol Hill Station opens straight onto this market\, which sets up on E Barbara Bailey Way between Broadway and 10th every Sunday of the year. Winter hours stay at 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.\, a late enough start for brunch first. Expect Washington farm produce\, meat and baked goods\, and on Nov. 15 the market hosts Applelooza\, a tasting of the wide range of apples grown around the state. Street parking is free on Sundays\, though it fills fast on the Hill.
