The line outside City Mouse and store at 4218 s.w. Alaska was long but excited to see Santa Claus on Sunday Dec. 4. Inside Santa and photographer Donna Ryan took family photos. The event has so far raised $1500 for local charities.
The West Seattle Junction Association gave the holiday season an especially warm start on Sunday Dec. 4 by collecting $1500 for local charities Westside Baby, West Seattle Food Bank and West Seattle Helpline through their Santa photos. Santa was greeting families and posing for photos at City Mouse and store at 4218 s.w. Alaska Street.
The event is produced by the organization and the $15 photo fee is donated 100% to charity. Donna Ryan Photography and Santa's helpers (including members of the Hi-Yu Junior court managed to photograph 85 families in four hours.
Santa and crew will be back next Sunday from 11am to 3pm. The Hometown Holidays Headquarters booth in front of Key Bank will be open for treats and prizes – and mule drawn carriage rides next Sunday too.
The final Junction Santa will be on Sunday, December 18, 11-3. A professional photographer will NOT be on site that day. However Santa and his helpers will be ready for your kids, and the photography studio will be set up for you to take your own pictures. If you have not had a chance as yet to help a suggested donation of $15 will be given to charities helping local children in need.
