Thousands came out for the annual downtown holiday tree lighting celebration at Westlake Center in Seattle.
The event went off without a hitch on Friday night."We love the fireworks. I think that’s one of our favorite things," said Jimmy Stark, who brought his family to the tree lighting. But, perhaps the person with the best view on Friday wasn't a person at all. "It is just a blast, everybody is so happy out here," said Janet Rayor. "I’m an elf, I’m Janet Rayor. I’m only 5 foot one normally.
"At first, you thought it was going to be not a lot of people, because of the crime that you hear about. But, I’m glad it’s actually not. It makes me feel like its old Seattle again," said Robinson."It was really cool. I expected the lighting and stuff and the snow, it was very cool," said Violette Stark. "We usually come every year, it’s one of our favorite events in Seattle," said Jimmy Stark. Janet's spot at the top was hard-earned.
