Holidays

Brooke Pertile CQ is enmeshed in her work installing thousands of LEDs for the annual Zoolights (CQ one word) display at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. Staff began installations at the beginning of last month for the 30th annual event. More than 650,000 LEDs are being assembled in more than 160 figures. This one will become an octopus.

Zoolights begins Nov. 24 and runs through Jan. 1. Hours are 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. nightly, except for a one-night closure on Dec. 24.
