-Hop a ferry to celebrate Christmas in the Country on Bainbridge Island, an island-wide holiday tradition since 1993. A free driving tour starting at Lynwood Commons has nine stops at holly-decked houses and farms—look for food, cider, gift shopping, pony rides, and a quick chat with Santa himself.

-It’s Holiday Barrel weekend in Walla Walla—and that means dozens of tastings in cozy wine cellars around the region. More than 70 wineries participate, each offering a different set of treats and events ranging from a "Battle of the Soups” to chocolate spreads.

-Try a Wreath Making Class this weekend; you’ll create something that beats the pants of the Fred Meyer holiday aisle. Instructors are from Bassetti’s Gardens in Woodinville, where they teach a classes Saturday and Sunday in their large barn. You’ll form, press and decorate wreathes while you nosh on a complimentary latte and cider bar, but it’s BYO garden clippers.
