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: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: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: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: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: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:Beaverton Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Beaverton's Saturday market wraps its main season on November 21\, filling the west lot of the Beaverton City Library on SW Hall Boulevard between 3rd and 5th. The last three Saturdays bring the late-fall Tualatin Valley harvest to the table\, along with the bakers and food makers people lean on for Thanksgiving week. Morning hours run 8:30 to 1:30. If you miss it\, the market comes back for a smaller winter run in early 2027.

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:Portland Opera: La Traviata
DESCRIPTION:Portland Opera opens its season's big stage with Verdi's La Traviata\, the story of Violetta\, a woman who chooses love and her own terms over polite society's verdict\, and pays for it. It's one of the most beloved operas ever written\, packed with tunes you'll recognize\, and an ideal first opera if you've been meaning to try one. Sung in Italian with English captions projected above the stage. Students get $15 seats by phone\, and Oregon Trail Card holders may qualify for $5 tickets.

SUMMARY:Nights of the Golden Flower at Lan Su Chinese Garden
DESCRIPTION:Lan Su's chrysanthemum festival opens with four evenings in Old Town's walled garden\, lit by lanterns and lined with roughly 81 varieties of mums\, including cascading waterfall displays from the horticulture team. Eighteen local floral artists and featured designer Toni Tibbits interpret this year's theme\, Golden Blooms Upon Autumn Waters\, and you can vote for your favorite. Guzheng music\, dance from YZ Dance Academy and a floral jewelry-making table round out the night. The daytime floral showcase continues through November 15.

SUMMARY:First Thursday in the Pearl
DESCRIPTION:Since 1986\, Pearl District galleries have kept their doors open late on the first Thursday of the month for openings\, receptions and a chance to meet the artists. The walk clusters in the blocks around NW 9th Avenue between Burnside and Glisan\, and it's a low-key way to see what Portland artists are making this winter. The Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education on NW Davis waives admission for the evening. Winter walks are quieter\, which means better conversations.

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:Filing 2022 Income Taxes Tips
DESCRIPTION:Filing 2022 income taxes can seem confusing\, but this free webinar will help! Join us for expert tips to make the process less stressful and help you file your federal and Idaho tax returns correctly the first time.\n\nWe’ll cover:\n\nWhat to know about the Advance Child Tax Credit\nWho qualifies for the Earned Income\nCredit and other credits\nCommon contributions and deductions\, including one you can take even if you don’t itemize\nHow to avoid the most frequent mistakes\nWho needs to file\nWithholding and Idaho W-4 forms\nTips if you’re having someone prepare your taxes\nWays to file\, including how to file for free\nWays to pay\, including online options\nWhat slows down a refund\nSecurity measures you might see with your tax return\nWhere to get help\n\n\nBring your questions about Filing 2022 Income Taxes!\nPresented by the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS\, which is part of the IRS) and the Idaho State Tax Commission.\n\n\n  \nFiling 2022 income taxes can be a confusing and intimidating process\, especially if you are doing it for the first time or if your financial situation has changed significantly since the previous year. However\, it is an important task that needs to be completed accurately and on time in order to avoid any potential penalties or fines. \nThe first step in filing 2022 income taxes is to gather all of the necessary documents and information. This may include your W-2 form from your employer\, any 1099 forms for any freelance or self-employment income you received\, and any other documentation related to your income or deductions. You will also need to have your Social Security number or taxpayer identification number\, as well as the numbers for any dependents you may have. \nOnce you have all of your information together\, you will need to decide how you want to file your taxes. You can choose to do it yourself using tax preparation software or by filling out a paper form\, or you can hire a professional tax preparer to do it for you. If you choose to do it yourself\, you will need to determine which tax form to use. The most common tax form is the 1040\, but there are also other forms available depending on your situation\, such as the 1040A or 1040EZ. \nOnce you have completed your tax form\, you will need to calculate your tax liability\, which is the amount of money you owe in taxes. You can do this by using the tax tables or tax calculator provided by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). If you owe taxes\, you will need to pay them by the tax deadline\, which is typically April 15th of each year. If you are unable to pay your taxes in full\, you may be able to set up a payment plan with the IRS. \nIf you are due a refund\, you can choose to have it deposited directly into your bank account or to receive a paper check. It is important to note that it can take several weeks to receive your refund\, so be sure to plan accordingly. \nBy gathering all of the necessary information and taking the time to properly complete your tax forms\, you can make the process go as smoothly as possible and avoid any potential issues. \n

These regions offer the perfect combination of warm\, dry summers and cool\, wet winters\, which are ideal for growing lavender. \nOne of the most popular varieties of lavender grown in Oregon is English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)\, which is known for its delicate\, sweet fragrance and beautiful purple flowers. Other common varieties include French lavender (Lavandula stoechas) and Spanish lavender (Lavandula spica)\, which are also prized for their fragrance and beauty. \nLavender is often grown in large fields\, with rows of plants spaced a few feet apart. The plants are typically pruned in the fall to encourage new growth\, and the flowers are harvested in the summer when they are at their peak. The flowers are then dried and used to produce essential oils\, which are extracted through a process called steam distillation. \nIn addition to being used in aromatherapy and perfumery\, lavender has a number of other uses. It is often used in cooking and baking\, and is a popular ingredient in a number of different dishes and desserts. Lavender is also used in herbal medicine\, and is believed to have a number of health benefits\, including reducing anxiety and promoting sleep. \nOverall\, lavender is an important crop in Oregon\, and is enjoyed by many people for its fragrance and beauty. Whether you are using it to relax and unwind\, or simply enjoying its delightful scent\, there are many reasons to love lavender in Oregon. \n
