Last year’s Holiday Trees at Hotel Bellwether was a huge hit, raising more than $10,000 for Skookum Kids. Voting kicked off on Dec. 7 and ran throughout the month, with visitors and guests choosing their favorite trees and wreaths. The top three trees were just a few votes apart—NEKO: A Cat Cafe’s Grinch tree came in first, the Bellingham Bells won second place, and West-Lind Construction was third. For the 13th year in a row, local businesses donated their time and resources, and community members stepped up to support a great cause in a celebration of the holiday spirit! 1 Bellwether Way, Bellingham, 360.392.3100, hotelbellwether.com
