SEATTLE— The Downtown Seattle Association announces the return of a cherished Downtown holiday tradition to Westlake Park this holiday season. The Holiday Carousel has been a part of Downtown’s holiday festivities for nearly two decades. With more than 70,000 riders last year, the Holiday Carousel continues to be a major draw for Downtown during the holidays. This year, Westlake Park will also host the return of the magical KING 5 Holiday Wonderland, featuring different events each weekend through December. This year’s Holiday Carousel, sponsored by Qwest, will take its first spin on November 25, 2005 and continue daily through December 31, 2005.
