If you haven't been yet, you'll love this excuse to visit this hidden small-town artisan enclave.

WHY: For the sixth annual Craft Bazaar (11/30–12/2. Times vary. Mighty Tieton Warehouse, 608 Wisconsin Ave.; 509.847.3034; mightytieton.com), which brings together nearly 60 Northwest artists and their wares, including caramels from Yakima-based Copper Pot and fine book arts from Tieton’s own Paper Hammer. The bazaar also hosts a chandelier show, where wildly imagined and hand-crafted fixtures light up the Mighty Tieton Warehouse.
WHILE YOU’RE THERE: Visit Tieton Cider Works (321 Humphrey Road; 509.673.2880; tietonciderworks.com), where Washington apples meet their maker. Owners Craig and Sharon Campbell always have a table at the Craft Bazaar, proffering samples and selling cider and gift boxes. But the cidery itself is only about five minutes south of the Warehouse, and certainly worth a side trip.
GETTING THERE: From Seattle, take Interstate 90 east toward Ellensburg, then take U.S. Hwy. 97 south and Interstate 82 east toward Yakima. Exit onto U.S. Hwy. 12 west and follow signs to Tieton.

The Trump administration has proposed updates to four ESA…
A New Place to Ice Skate by the Water
Hyatt Regency Lake Washington’s dockside rink offers lake views and eco-friendly synthetic ice.
Skating season has officially arrived. There’s a particular joy in gliding—or trying to—on cold days. I always go for the outdoor rinks, especially the ones strung with twinkling lights. It can be so romantic. And this year, there’s a new place to lace up. A 71-foot by 38-foot covered Glice rink is up and running…
Bergen: Finding a Home, Abroad
A trip across western Norway reveals strikingly Northwest sensibilities.
A few months ago, we randomly walked into Wallingford’s Fat Cat Records. Greeting us, face-out by the cash register, was not Nirvana, not Soundgarden, but Peer Gynt Suite, by the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. Was this a Norse omen, a mischievous prank from Loki? For us, two Seattleites with a trip to Norway on the…
Yes, It’s OK to Travel to LA
Why a trip to the City of Angels matters now more than ever.
“In Los Angeles, it’s hard to tell if you’re dealing with the real true illusion or the false one.”—Eve Babitz Babitz was one of LA’s great muses, and her line rings especially true in the wake of the wildfires that swept through parts of the region last winter. Los Angeles has always been a city…
