Seattle Christmas Light Tour: A Guide to the Best, Free Christmas Light Displays in the City

Erin  Dalrymple
A genuine representation of the collective spirit, neighborhood Christmas light displays embody the true institution of the holidays. A time when property boundary disputes are overlooked, incessantly barking pets acquire a certain charm and the nagging 'energy conservation' plight doesn't stand a chance against the electric splendor of twinkling, themed cul-de-sacs, glowing winter wonderland scenes and larger-than-life inflatable snow globes...

    To my dismay, I went to the Brier Lights with my family this year as I have every year for the past 5 years just this past Sunday and all was dark. There was one house on the corner with some lights, but nothing like it had been in years past.

    Thank you Erin Dalrymple!...Having recently moved to the Seattle area from a small New England "Currier and Ives" historic village where the festivity of Christmas lights draw crowds from all over the country, I feel encouraged I will be able to enjoy the best "Christmas Light Displays in the City of Seattle." But Erin, where do I find snow?
