The evergreen that serves as the West Seattle Junction Hometown Holidays Christmas tree is lit in blue tonight. As previewed here last night, it’s inspired by the nationwide Light It Blue campaign to honor health-care heroes and others on the pandemic frontline. The tree in Junction Plaza Park (42nd/Alaska) was decked this morning with the help of Fleming’s Holiday Lighting:

    Thank you, Fleming’s and Nucor! This is a lovely homage to those on the front lines every day, and it’s a positive reminder of how awesome our community is.

    I thought…Holy smokes its too early for Christmas in July and way too early for Christmas, Christmas! LOL! But my husband does say there are some homes on his route that still have their trees up from last Christmas. (SMH)and as everyone above states “THANK YOU Nucor and Flemings”

      Some have put Christmas lights back up as part of the keep-the-spirits-up-during-stay-home movement (the ones in the shape of hearts are particularly, well, heart-warming). I just never happened to have taken ours down so they’re back on for the duration :)

        Ha! so you’re one of those kind of people ;>) not like the hubby who’s gotta take them down NO…can’t leave them up, can’t leave them up!!! LOL!!!

    I just hope, once this is over, we continue to honor essential workers. Maybe guaranteeing them six figure salaries, health care, child care…etc. If all these workers are essential, let’s treat them as such.
