In a brief respite from a series of rainstorms that have slowed their progress, the decorations and new paint job for the Space Needle sit partially complete. The strands of lights that will form Space Needle's Christmas tree is half formed. It is due to be lit this Friday, November 30th, in conjunction with the Macy's star and the downtown lights. Weather calls for winds today gusting to 24 miles per hour and continued rain. Thanksgiving Day the winds are expected to die down.
The paint job that will transform the top of the 605 foot Seattle landmark into green hued silhouettes of evergreens was the result of the first ever public contest to determine a personal design for the top. The painting started in October, but is only partially comlete. "Trees" by Nicole Commins was the top vote getter. Her design will remain on the top of the observation into April of 2013....weather permitting completion!
