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:Juel Park Restoration Work Party
DESCRIPTION:EarthCorps and the Green Redmond Partnership spend a Saturday morning planting trees and shrubs and spreading mulch at Juel Park\, 38 acres in the Sammamish Valley. The valley's fertile bottomland was a hunting\, fishing and gathering ground for Native communities for thousands of years before farming and logging\, and the restoration work helps bring native forest back. No experience is needed\, and youth and school groups are welcome if leaders contact EarthCorps ahead of time. Three hours outside makes a good counterweight to the Thanksgiving rush.

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.

SUMMARY:Hillsdale Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Southwest Portland's Sunday market\, now set up in the Rieke Elementary parking lot on SW Vermont\, runs every week until Thanksgiving before switching to a twice-a-month winter schedule. It draws a loyal crowd from Hillsdale\, Multnomah Village and the surrounding hills\, and the three Sundays before the holiday are the best chance to stock up while the full roster is still coming. Extra parking is available at the back entrance of Ida B. Wells High School next door.

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:King Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:The King neighborhood's Sunday market closes for the year on November 22\, so its last three Sundays are a good reason to wander over before Thanksgiving. About 30 regional farmers and food makers set up in the lot beside King Elementary at NE 7th and Wygant\, between Alberta and Prescott. It's compact and walkable\, with a neighborhood crowd rather than a tourist one. SNAP shoppers can get up to $20 matched through Double Up Food Bucks.

SUMMARY:Lents International Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Started in 2006 to bring fresh\, culturally relevant produce to one of Southeast Portland's most diverse neighborhoods\, the Lents market runs its final Sundays through November 22. Around a dozen growers and food makers set up in The ZED parking lot at SE 92nd and Reedway\, and the vendor mix changes week to week. Live music plays from 1 to 3 p.m.\, and kids can try food activities at the information booth. Small\, friendly and very much a neighborhood market.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Downtown's Wednesday market wrapped its regular season in October\, then returns for one day on the eve of Thanksgiving. The annual Harvest Market sets up in Shemanski Park in the South Park Blocks\, right where downtown office workers can duck out at lunch for the things that make or break the holiday table: bread\, produce\, cheese\, and whatever you forgot to put on the list. Four hours\, one block\, and a calm alternative to the grocery store scrum.

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:Tree Lighting Celebration at Westlake Park
DESCRIPTION:Downtown's holiday season officially starts the day after Thanksgiving\, back in a renovated Westlake Park after last year's move to Westlake Center during construction. From 11 a.m. there are craft tables\, costumed characters and sweets for kids\, and at 5 p.m. the giant tree and star are lit\, followed right away by fireworks. Last year's crowd was around 16\,000\, so take Link or the monorail and stake out a spot by 4. The newly returned holiday carousel opens in the park the same day.

SUMMARY:Westlake Park Holiday Carousel
DESCRIPTION:After a six-year break\, the downtown holiday carousel is back in Westlake Park\, presented by Nordstrom. It turns daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Jan. 3\, a nice reward after a round of holiday shopping on Pine Street. Rides are a suggested $4 donation that goes back into downtown parks\, and if that isn't possible\, just tell the attendant and hop on. Parents riding with children under 12 ride free. Look out for the giant 25-foot gnomes that pop up around downtown parks from Dec. 4.

SUMMARY:Zoolights at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium
DESCRIPTION:Tacoma's long-running holiday light show takes over Point Defiance Zoo after dark\, with light displays strung along the zoo's paths above Commencement Bay. It's a walking show rather than an animal visit\, since the exhibits close for the evening\, so come for the lights\, a hot drink and a loop of the grounds. Tickets are timed and sold online in advance\, and Zoolights isn't included with regular admission or zoo membership. Weeknights early in the season tend to be the calmest\, and parking at the zoo is free.
