9 months (as of this past Wednesday) after the West Seattle Bridge closed, it’s inspired a gingerbread creation. Mike Shaughnessy sent the photos of his family’s ginger-bridge. Santa even has his choice of destinations:

By next Christmas, we might just be a few months away from restored use of the real thing.

That’ll probably last longer than the real bridge.

Curved gingerbread pieces are a challenge to make so this is all the more a technical marvel. Hey WSB, maybe next year, along with the lights, readers should send in pictures of the their gingerbread creations for all to enjoy. Happy Christmas!

Both the bridge and the Duwamish River look dreamy.

I hope the ginger bearing on pier 8 isn’t stuck.

Shared this pic with my husband who wondered if over time, some cracks will develop?
