With no annual holiday carousel coming to the park, the Downtown Seattle Association is creating Holiday Lights & Delights from Nov. 27 through Jan. 9. Following the Westlake Center tree lighting, the switch will be flipped on more than 80,000 lights, all LEDs, on arches, tree towers, orbs and more. (Alan Berner / The Seattle Times)
