SUMMARY:Holiday Weekends at Portland Japanese Garden
DESCRIPTION:For three weekends starting the day after Thanksgiving\, the Japanese Garden in Washington Park dresses for the season with traditional winter decorations. Visitors can shop Japanese and Japanese-inspired gifts\, have them wrapped in furoshiki cloth\, and leave with a take-home origami ornament. Seasonal teas and treats are on at the Umami Café\, and garden tours are free with admission. Late-autumn maples and moss make the walk itself worth the trip\, and it's all included with regular admission.

DESCRIPTION:Chabad Center for Jewish Life lights Portland's public menorah in Pioneer Courthouse Square across Hanukkah\, from Friday\, December 4\, through Sunday\, December 13. The gathering runs late afternoon into early evening\, right as downtown workers head home\, and it brings a different kind of light to the city's living room during its busiest month.

SUMMARY:Hollywood Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:A Saturday market on NE Hancock between 44th and 45th in Northeast Portland's Hollywood district. It keeps its weekly schedule right up to December 19\, which makes it one of the more dependable east-side stops for the supporting cast of a Thanksgiving turkey or a few last-minute edible gifts. After the holidays it shifts to a twice-monthly winter schedule from January through March\, so December is the last weekly stretch until spring.

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:Portland Farmers Market at PSU
DESCRIPTION:Portland Farmers Market's flagship keeps its Saturday rhythm all winter in the South Park Blocks on the Portland State campus. The winter market is smaller than the summer crush\, which makes it easier to talk with the farmers\, bakers\, ranchers and cheesemakers who still show up in the cold. It's the one Portland Farmers Market site open every Saturday through the season\, closing only on December 26\, so it doubles as a dependable stop for holiday baking supplies and Sunday-dinner ingredients.

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:Vancouver Farmers Market (Downtown)
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver's downtown market stays open through the winter\, shifting to a single Saturday session from 10 to 2 next to Esther Short Park. The cold-season lineup is smaller than summer's\, but you'll still find local growers\, bakers and makers\, plus a reason to grab coffee and loop the park. On Kids Bucks Saturdays (November 21 and December 19)\, children get a $2 coupon to spend on anything at the market\, a nice way to let them pick their own apple or treat.

SUMMARY:Portland Saturday Market
DESCRIPTION:Portland Saturday Market is in its 52nd season\, and the last Saturdays before it packs up on December 19 are prime gift-hunting weeks. Makers sell their own work from booths spread through Waterfront Park and Ankeny Plaza by the Burnside Bridge: ceramics\, jewelry\, leather\, woodwork\, prints and warm knits. Local musicians play sets on the market stage through the final Saturday\, and food vendors keep shoppers fed between laps. Entry is free; come early for the most relaxed browsing.

SUMMARY:Portland Bazaar Holiday Market
DESCRIPTION:A curated maker market that runs across three December weekends in Northwest Portland\, with more than 200 makers rotating through over the season. Because the lineup shifts weekend to weekend\, it rewards a second visit: ceramics\, apparel\, jewelry\, home goods and small-batch food from independent Portland-area brands. Entry is free and all ages are welcome. New this year\, a preview hour from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday\, December 5\, lets early birds shop before the crowd.

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:Garden Tea Tastings at Lan Su Chinese Garden
DESCRIPTION:A tea master from Lan Su's Yun Shui Teahouse pours three seasonal Chinese and Taiwanese teas for a group of no more than eight\, in one of the garden's pavilions. Over an hour you'll hear where each tea comes from\, how it's processed and brewed\, and what it means culturally\, then take home a porcelain teacup. Garden admission is included\, so plan to wander the courtyards afterward. It's a quiet\, grown-up way to spend a rainy winter afternoon in Old Town.

SUMMARY:Christmas Ships Parade
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer skippers have strung their boats with lights and cruised the rivers every December for about seven decades\, and the fleets sail most nights from December 3 to 20. The Willamette fleet leaves RiverPlace Marina for runs toward Johns Landing\, the Fremont Bridge or Milwaukie; the Columbia fleet works from the M. James Gleason Boat Ramp toward Vancouver\, Hayden Bay and North Portland Harbor. Bring a thermos\, check the route for your night\, and find a spot along the water.

SUMMARY:Greater Vancouver Chamber Business After Hours
DESCRIPTION:The Greater Vancouver Chamber's monthly after-work mixer moves to a different member business each time\, so you get a look behind the scenes along with the handshakes. It's a relaxed\, two-hour drop-in rather than a structured program\, which suits newcomers to Clark County's business community. November's edition is hosted by U.S. Bank on the 17th\, and December's by EOCF on the 8th. The series is aimed at chamber members\, so contact the chamber about guest passes before you go.

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.
