If you are local and don’t know about the awesomeness that is a Seattle Tilth Class, you’re missing out! I took a fall gardening class offered by them and I learned a ton. I loved it!
They do a fantastic job at teaching sustainable, but effective ways to live, garden, and eat. Their class list is vast and extensive. There’s pretty much guaranteed to be something for everyone. Take a look at what’s coming up, or see the full list online:

I seriously recommend that you pop over there and read about different classes.
Let me know if you sign up and what class you are taking, maybe, just maybe, I’ll see you there.
