  1. Does anyone know of some good streets with christmas lights? I was thinking of taking the kids for a drive around west seattle tonight. Beach drive is a given.

  2. Wsea – we are launching our Christmas light coverage tonight and have finally gotten some tips besides the ones we’ve seen.
    .
    For starters – go to the neighborhoods closest to West Seattle Lights – off Charlestown, east of California – it’s a Candy Cane Lane.
    .
    Second – the stub of Fauntleroy alongside the West Seattle Bridge’s Fauntleroy end – reach it with a turn eastward off 35th north of Fauntleroy – several bright homes there.
    .
    And Rhonda from Beach Drive Blog is tracking homes on Beach Drive (Menashes – 5600 block of Beach Drive – included, of course) – I’ve seen at least two posts at BDB: http://beachdriveblog.com
