  1. Best tree lighting ceremony yet! I’ve lived in downtown
    Edmonds for 15 yrs now, and this year had the biggest crowd present, with lots of enthusiasm and a good festive mood. And the City got it totally right with the lights, in terms of quantity, and quality and warmth. Great job, everyone!
