SUMMARY:Portland Saturday Market

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.

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: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: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.

SUMMARY:Oy Vey in a Manger with The Kinsey Sicks
DESCRIPTION:The Kinsey Sicks\, the drag a cappella group billed as America's favorite beautyshop trio\, have been skewering everything in sight for more than 30 years. Their holiday show finds Angel\, Winnie and Trixie trying to sell a manger before it's foreclosed on\, with tight harmony on reworked holiday songs\, political jabs and very adult humor. Village Theatre hosts five nights in Everett the week before Christmas. Leave the kids at home: the theater warns it contains references even Santa would find inappropriate.

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:Art Walk Edmonds (Third Thursdays)
DESCRIPTION:Downtown Edmonds hangs local art in shops\, restaurants and galleries all month\, and on the third Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. the businesses open their doors for a walk where you can meet the artists in person. The whole walk fits comfortably into an evening on foot\, with the ferry terminal and the water a few blocks downhill. Cascadia Art Museum stays open until 8 on art walk nights\, which makes it a good first or last stop. Expect a relaxed\, small-town crowd and plenty of places for dinner afterward.

SUMMARY:Seattle Symphony: Handel's Messiah
DESCRIPTION:The Seattle Symphony's annual Messiah brings the Seattle Symphony Chorale\, a quartet of vocal soloists and Benaroya Hall's Watjen Concert Organ together for Handel's oratorio\, the one that sends audiences to their feet for the Hallelujah chorus. Three performances fall the weekend before Christmas: Thursday evening\, Saturday evening and a Sunday matinee. Of all Seattle's December concerts\, this is the most traditional\, and a sentimental one for anyone who sang it in school. Benaroya is a short walk from Westlake\, so it pairs easily with the downtown carousel and lights.

SUMMARY:The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show in Tacoma
DESCRIPTION:Seattle's own Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme have turned their holiday show into an annual tour\, and this year it stops at Tacoma's ornate Pantages Theater on Broadway. The two drag performers bring their comedy and music to the season's traditions\, and their chemistry as a duo is the draw. It's a grown-up night out\, best for anyone who'd rather laugh through December than sit through another round of carols. Pair it with a late dinner in the Theater District\, a short walk from the theater.

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:Great Figgy Pudding Caroling Competition
DESCRIPTION:For two hours on a Friday night\, caroling groups fan out across a ten-block radius of downtown and sing in front of shops\, restaurants and hotels\, while passersby vote for their favorites. The top three groups then return to Pioneer Courthouse Square for a final carol-off. It's the 12th year of Portland's version\, free to watch\, and a fun way to wander downtown in December with a hot drink in hand. Choirs\, office teams and ugly-sweater crews can register to compete.
