Christmas comes to Padden Parkway I noticed about three or four years ago that someone had decorated a tree along Padden Parkway (between 94th Ave & 117th Ave). The next year there was a decorated tree at the SR500 exit off of I-205 northbound. Last year the decorated tree appeared along Padden Parkway again. Last week I saw that someone had once more decorated a tree along that same stretch of Padden Parkway. Friday there were two decorated trees. Last night, we noticed there were four trees. This morning there were six. I just took this photo and realized that there are now eight decorated trees along Padden Parkway. I love my community! Merry Christmas!
