Jingle Bell Run
The Seattle Jingle Bell Run & Walk that is taking place at Westlake Center on December 14th. The Jingle Bell Run benefits the Arthritis Foundation and is a fun, family-friendly event that has quickly become a Seattle Holiday Tradition. Last year, 12,000 people showed their support at Westlake Center, decked out as Santa and his elves, reindeer and even a few Christmas Trees! There is a costume contest, children’s run with the elves and the opportunity to see Santa Claus drive through downtown in a shiny Corvette!
Registration is open online and at select locations (listed on the website), or participants can register at Westlake on the day of the event.
If you’d like further information or want to connect with someone at the Arthritis Foundation for an interview, I’m happy to set that up. I’ve included the basics below:

How weird! I just did a post for tomorrow about how ornaments remind me of old times, and I have two that I showcase from our Seattle days….when I used to work in the office at Westlake Center. And then I popped out and read this. Weird!
