I'm wanting to sign up for either an aerial silks or aerial hoop class, can anyone suggest a good studio that is also affordable? :)

Seattle is lucky to have several lovely places in town. Beginning silk and trapeze at the Youngstown Cultural Center. Everything at Versatile Arts-nice mix of art/movement and tricks. Silk and most things though hoop/lyra may not be available there at SANCA (circus/tricks focus). Emerald City has some aerial things-it tends to be a little pricier than the others. If you want hoop/lyra, I'd suggest Nancy Neyhart as an instructor. Disclaimer: all my contact info and info is dated.

What are some popular entertainer ideas and vendors in the area?Magicians, impersonators, comedians, etc?

Aerial performers add such a neat ambiance! Check out www.emeraldcitytrapeze.com - they have entertainment packages on their events and parties page, I think!
Question- I am trying to find a venue for my wedding. We are wanting Jan 2016. The hard part is I want a rustic feel/barn feel in Western Washington that can have around 200 people. Also, we would love to be able to bring in our own beer/wine and not have to purchase through the venue. I am having a hard time finding a place that meets these needs due to weather and time of year. Anyone have any suggestions that I could look into? Thanks in advance!

Try #EmeraldCityTrapeze. They are in Seattle, but the interior is that of a beautiful rustic barn. The venue holds upwards of 600 people. I think you can bring your own food and beverages too. www.EmeraldCityTrapeze.com - the owner, Kari Kirkland is amazing to work with!
Trying to help my little brother plan his wedding. What are the best venues to have a wedding at in the winter? Can be anywhere in WA State. ~150 people.
