FRIDAY WINTER HOLIDAYS Christmas Ship Parade of BoatsWe love that Seattle's unique geography lends itself to unique Christmas celebrations, including a parade of sparkly boats. You can grab a spot on the lead boat, follow along in your own decked-out boat, or stake out one of the many excellent shoreside viewpoints. The parade will gather in Lake Union and head westward through the Fremont Cut, where a free viewing party will be held at Evanston Plaza. SHANNON LUBETICH(Gas Works Park & Lake Union Park, $0-$76)
