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.

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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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:Georgetown Art Attack: Very Open House at Equinox Studios

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:Portland Saturday Market

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.
