Snoqualmie names holiday light winners
Published 11:29 am Tuesday, December 29, 2015
The city of Snoqualmie conducted judging for its annual holiday lights contest Dec. 21 and announced the winners last week. Winners were chosen for creativity, originality, thematic elements and overall design.
The first place winners were the Krieger Family, whose decorations were deemed most original by the judges. In second place was a house on S.E. Swenson Drive that was compared to work by Clark Griswold from National Lampooon’s Christmas Vacation. In third place was Christopher Berglund on Elderberry Avenue S.E., whom the judges called most committed.
First Place: 9221 Ash Ave. S.E.
Second Place: 8822 S.E. Swenson St.
Third Place: 6717 Elderberry Ave. S.E.
Second place went to this house, 8822 S.E. Swenson St., for its resemblance to the work of Clark Griswold from the movie “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.”
Commitment is what judges admired about the third place home, although the visit from Santa Claus probably helped its ranking in the Snoqualmie holiday lighting contest. This house is at 6717 Elderberry Ave. S.E.
