Port of Seattle getting its winter holiday decorations ready early

I had a good laugh when I saw this:

Sea-Tac Airport Provides Sneak Preview of Festive New Winter Decorations At Seattle Design Shop

October 17, 2007 - Port of Seattle and Displaymaker Productions Inc. are providing a media availability to share the design and production of new decorations to be displayed this winter season at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Following the recommendations provided by an advisory committee, the Port of Seattle approved the design concept of Displaymaker Productions, which emphasizes the use of light, colors and the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. In addition, environmentally friendly materials are a key concept in the design, as part of the Port's goal to become the cleanest, greenest, most energy efficient Port in the country.

The new winter decorations are scheduled to be installed at the airport in early November and to remain in the airport through mid-January.

Well, after last year's fake plastic tree fiasco...it's hard to blame them for scheduling media availability to show off planned airport holiday decorations!

We also applaud the goal to have a strong environmental ethic, but the Port of Seattle has a long, long, long way to go to get there.
