If you can’t tell by seeing it, you can by the evergreen scent: The state Holiday Kids’ Tree has arrived and is standing tall in the Legislative Building rotunda.
Gov. Jay Inslee joined several Department of Enterprise Services workers Monday morning bringing in the 25-foot Noble fir, donated by Winkelman’s Tree Farm in Olympia. The tree will be fully decorated later this week.
In addition to traditional decorations and 5,000 LED lights, the tree will be decorated with plush characters from “Frozen.” After the tree comes down Dec. 30, the stuffed characters will be individually wrapped along with a Golden Book that relates to the “Frozen” story and handed out to children at Seattle Children’s hospital.
The public tree lighting ceremony in the rotunda takes place this Friday at 6 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Association of Washington Business.
