West Seattle tonight: Lights, camera, music – and shimmying!

| Holidays | West Seattle news | WS culture/arts

Yes, at long last it’s another video from the creators of one of West Seattle’s most-talked-about Christmas-lights displays this season, the synchronized-to-music Helmstetler Family show across from the Charlestown water tower. (Here’s our original report, with the first video from the show.) Jim Winder has actually published three more videos in all – they’re all linked here. And that’s just one option for your Tuesday night (and beyond) – here’s our West Seattle Holidays page with tons more, including live holiday music tonight at The Mount (and planning ahead, check out the West Seattle Big Band plan for a Thursday night holiday concert at Grace Church.) Back to tonight, a non-holiday highlight: The monthly “Alauda” belly-dance showcase at Skylark Cafe and Club (WSB sponsor), 7:30 pm.

My guess is no– she doesn’t.

Oh of course! We just have it arranged so there’s not much of a gap between me going off-watch and Patrick going on-watch – I’m a night owl and he’s an early bird anyway. (Although calls/texts when big news breaks are especially helpful in case something happens in one of those gaps – or any time really – 206-293-6302 …) – TR

That is funny! I am not sure how many people pray for snow around here after last year!

Have the Winder’s added more lights since about a week ago?

I don’t know but have been corresponding with Jim Winder, who’s the tech guy, while the home is actually that of the Helmstetler Family, will ask – I do have the song list too and will have to dig it out of inbox for another folo … TR
