Thanksgiving is still six and a half weeks away, but yes, we’re ready to talk (a bit) about the holidays – with seasonal calendar listings starting to come in. One that might interest you for early planning: The Argosy Cruises Christmas Ship is making only two West Seattle visits this year, both on the same night – its first night of the year, Saturday, November 23. On that night, the Pacific Sound Chorus will be on board to serenade both passengers on the ship and spectators onshore. The Christmas Ship will visit Don Armeni Boat Ramp (1222 Harbor SW) 5:35-5:55 pm that night, and Alki Beach Park (2665 Alki SW), 8:35-8:55 pm. Weather permitting, a bonfire is planned at Alki, with Seattle Parks.

Any idea about why the Christmas Ship won’t be giving a performance at Lowman Beach?

It’s been five years now since their last Lowman stop (2019). Meant to ask last year, definitely asking this year.

Only 1 night and before Thanksgiving? Bah humbug. Wish it were also making a stop during the holiday season between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Historically, they have built the bonfire with a pile of pallets.

Actually the pits are already there.Park’s website is incorrect saying they’re ” removed until 2025.” But they are ALL actually still on the beach. I’ve been trying to reach parks to clarify if they intend on having the bonfire closer to the bathhouse as it has been located historically. But no answer.
