Holiday lights brighten up the dark, winter nights in the Northwest
 Old fashioned displays use standard incandescent C7 lights or mini-lights. The new, improved way to decorate is with energy-efficient alternatives: light emitting diode (LED) lights or fiber optic. The advantages are safety, durability and versatility. See the Westlake Mall tree aglow in LED technology and enjoy Downtown Seattle street trees. Happy Holidays from Seattle City Light!
