Seattle Christmas Cranes
Who says construction has to be a blight?
In what may be a new trend, local construction companies (or outsider construction companies working locally) are decking out their cranes in holiday attire.
I first noticed these two South Lake Union cranes shortly after Thanksgiving, and they were quickly followed by the decoration of several Belltown and Lower Queen Anne cranes as well.
Of course, the cranes are building generic, neighborhood-killing, non-rent-controlled, extended-stay crates for hyper-transient yuppies and suburban ex-patriots, but hey … it’s the thought that counts.
I approve.

Don’t blame the construction companies, they’re just building the structure. It’s almost as if the companies are trying to say “we’re not the bad guys, see?”
I recall when my father was in construction, and helping build a hospital, they had them decorated and that was about 30 years ago.
We thought it was neat as kids. Thank you for the memories Rex. : D
