SUMMARY:Christmas Festival of Lights at The Grotto
DESCRIPTION:The Grotto's wooded sanctuary in Northeast Portland turns into a quarter-mile walk of lights each evening from November 27 to December 30. The music is the draw: school\, church and civic choirs sing in the Chapel of Mary's acoustics\, the Grotto Carolers perform at the bottom of each hour\, and a puppet show plays in the plaza tent at the top of each hour. Plan 60 to 90 minutes\, and grab cocoa and snacks in the Interpretive Center. Value nights save a couple of dollars.

SUMMARY:Winter Wonderland at Portland International Raceway
DESCRIPTION:A drive-through light show on the racetrack at Portland International Raceway\, and the single largest fundraiser for the Sunshine Division's hunger-relief work. Tickets are priced per carload\, so pile in the grandparents and cousins and tune the radio while you roll the course. Weeknights are cheaper and calmer than weekends or the December 16 to 25 peak. Two special nights swap cars for people: Bike the Lights on November 29 and the Lights & Leashes dog walk to start December.

SUMMARY:Snowflake Lane at The Bellevue Collection
DESCRIPTION:Every night at 7 p.m. from the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve\, Bellevue Way between NE 4th and NE 8th turns into a short holiday parade: toy drummers\, dancers\, lighted floats\, music and machine-made snow drifting down over the crowd. With free admission and free parking in the Bellevue Collection garages\, it makes an easy weeknight outing with kids. Claim a curb spot early on weekends\, when the sidewalks fill. Santa holds court for photos inside Bellevue Square during the same run\, and the Downtown Park ice rink is a few blocks away.

SUMMARY:Garden d'Lights
DESCRIPTION:Bellevue Botanical Garden's holiday display shapes its lights into the garden itself: glowing flowers\, plants and small critters tucked into the beds along the paths\, with a scavenger-hunt map for kids who want to find them all. Entry is by half-hour timed ticket\, starting at 4:30 p.m. The first two weeks have $5 Monday-through-Thursday nights\, and Dec. 8 is a sensory-friendly night with no live music and half the usual crowd. The garden lot is small and costs $5\, so many visitors park free at Wilburton Hill Park\, a quarter mile east.

SUMMARY:Redmond Lights
DESCRIPTION:Redmond's winter festival is more art show than Christmas display: a month of illuminated installations by local and regional artists in Downtown Park and Overlake's Esterra Park. This year's pieces include Ai-Chun Huang's walk-through woven mountains\, an interactive infinity mirror\, a glowing pop-art salute to Redmond and a light piece driven by the city's streams and trails. The kickoff on Saturday\, Dec. 5\, from 4 to 8 p.m. adds snow every 15 minutes\, a silent disco\, a kids' light fashion show and a lantern promenade. Everything is free.

SUMMARY:International Ballet Theatre: The Nutcracker
DESCRIPTION:If McCaw Hall feels far from the Eastside\, Bellevue's own Nutcracker plays the Meydenbauer Center Theatre for two weeks before Christmas. International Ballet Theatre roots its version in the original 1892 production\, keeping the classical structure with full scenery and bright costumes. The theater is smaller than Seattle's big houses\, which puts every seat closer to the stage\, a real plus for young first-timers. Pair a matinee with Snowflake Lane at 7 p.m.\, a few blocks away on Bellevue Way.

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: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:Holiday Express at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center
DESCRIPTION:Heritage rail cars leave the Oregon Rail Heritage Center in the Central Eastside for a short holiday excursion\, with Santa and his elves working the heated cars. Morning departures are daylight rides with scenery and the odd glimpse of wildlife; the later trains roll out at early dusk to show off the lights. Your ticket includes admission to the Center and its historic locomotives\, and cocoa and cookies are sold on site. Trains leave on time\, so arrive 20 minutes early.

SUMMARY:Oregon Ballet Theatre: George Balanchine's The Nutcracker
DESCRIPTION:Oregon Ballet Theatre's Balanchine Nutcracker is Portland's big-stage holiday ballet\, with Tchaikovsky's score played live by the OBT Orchestra at the Keller Auditorium. Marie's trip to the Land of Sweets runs 18 performances between December 5 and Christmas Eve\, including audio-described shows on December 5\, 13 and 21. Families with young kids or neurodiverse members can also catch a separate sensory-friendly Storybook Nutcracker on December 23.

SUMMARY:Christmas Ship Grand Finale Bonfire at Gas Works Park
DESCRIPTION:The Christmas Ship season ends on Lake Union\, and the last shoreline concert of the year lands at Gas Works Park. The final sailing's follow boats gather around the ship off the old gasworks towers while a choir sings to the crowd on the hill\, and there's a public lighting and bonfire along the shore. The performance is scheduled for 9:10 to 9:30 p.m.\, so it's a late one; earlier that evening the same sailing stops at Fritz Hedges Waterway Park in Portage Bay. Bring a headlamp for the walk back to the car.

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: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: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.

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:Seattle Symphony New Year's Eve with Storm Large and Jimmie Herrod
DESCRIPTION:Two big Northwest voices front the orchestra for New Year's Eve: Storm Large\, the Portland singer known for her years with Pink Martini and her fearless cabaret shows\, and Jimmie Herrod\, whose soaring tenor turned heads on America's Got Talent and who also sings with Pink Martini. After the concert\, the party moves into Benaroya's Stroum Grand Lobby for dancing and a countdown to midnight. Dress up a little; it's a festive way to ring in the year without braving the crowds at Seattle Center.

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.

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: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: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: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.
