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:Portland Holiday Brew Fest
DESCRIPTION:More than 40 winter beers and ciders from around the region pour under the 75-foot city tree in Pioneer Courthouse Square. Holiday releases are the point here: the seasonal\, once-a-year pours that breweries save for the dark months\, sampled in the middle of downtown with the lights overhead. The fest runs Friday evening and all day Saturday\, so Saturday afternoon is the easygoing session and Friday night the lively one. Strictly 21 and over; buy tickets ahead through the festival's site.

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 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: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: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: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.

DESCRIPTION:A curated maker market that runs across three December weekends in Northwest Portland\, with more than 200 makers rotating through over the season.

SUMMARY:Vancouver Symphony Orchestra Holiday Pops
DESCRIPTION:Clark County's own orchestra gets festive for a family-friendly holiday program under music director Ken Selden. The featured soloist is Noah Geller\, concertmaster of the Seattle Symphony\, which gives the afternoon a serious musical anchor between the seasonal favorites. Performances are at Skyview Concert Hall in north Vancouver\, a lower-key alternative to a downtown Portland show that doesn't require crossing the river. Choose the Sunday matinee for younger listeners.

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.

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: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:Peacock Lane Holiday Lights
DESCRIPTION:One block of Tudor-style houses in Southeast Portland has gone all-out for the holidays for generations\, and the whole city still turns up to walk it. Residents light up December 15 through 31\, starting at 6 p.m. The first two nights\, December 15 and 16\, are pedestrian-only\, which is the most relaxed way to see it. A free cocoa booth opens at 6 p.m. from December 15 to 24\, while supplies last. Park a few blocks away and walk in.
