Christmas will be here before you know it and Seattle is already deep in the season. Between light displays and holiday markets, there’s a ton to look forward to. That being said, the Argosy Cruises Christmas Ship Festival is one of Seattle’s classic holiday celebrations and it’s on now.
The ship-to-shore holiday celebration is in its 74th year, originally starting in 1949. Onlookers can see The Spirit of Seattle decorated with hundreds of shimmery white lights as it sails to different Puget Sound waterfront communities. In total, about 40 are visited.
