Christina Kline, her husband James and their daughters Amelia, Audrey, and Elena were at the Holy Rosary lot on Sunday Nov. 28 picking out their tree. They had been downtown to visit Santa Claus before the stopped by the lot, making it a very traditional holiday Sunday.
It's time to think about getting a Christmas Tree and if you love the smell of a natural tree there are several places around West Seattle to buy them including Tony's at the corner of 35th s.w. and s.w. Barton but for hundreds of families the place to get their tree for the past 21 years is from Holy Rosary. The lot has moved this year to be adjacent to the school at 41st. s.w. and s.w. Dakota on the Holy Rosary School playground and they have a broad selection of trees on hand.
Trees
Noble Fir: 3—10 ft.
