Event comments

This is a favorite event for many volkswalkers and many area residents. We will walk thru neighborhood holiday lights and displays, down the hill to Elliott Bay, along Alki Beach and Harbor Drive, and back up to the Admiral Junction and to the Church for hot soup and snacks! The walk along Alki and Harbor Ave features holiday lights on one side of the street and the lights of downtown Seattle on the other. On a clear night we also will see the lights of Bremerton across the Sound, and any passing traffic in the shipping lanes.
