A Ramble Looking at Holiday Lights and a Christmas Market, December, 2023
This one touches on a few spots in Seattle’s downtown and Seattle Center campus. There is no route map for this one, just a few locations and some lights during the darkest part of the year up here. Pioneer Square and Occidental Park start off this trip. Then moving to Westlake Center (complete with Blitz, the Seattle Seahawks mascot!). Then to the Seattle Center Armory and it’s annual holiday train scene. Outside to the Base of the Space Needle, and then under some more lights to the Christmas Market. This is the first time that this has been at this location. Many things that used to be at Westake Center, like the carousel, are here with a couple of hundred shops. As always, the ambient noise is the soundtrack. Enjoy the season!
